Gold Investment Alternatives

Are you hungry for more gold? Is gold bullion investing too risky for you? Does the timing not seem right?

There is more than one way to invest in gold. One does not have to endure the risks of trading gold bullions when there are professionals that will do the investing for you. Of course, I am referring to investment advisors and fund managers.

When the price per ounce of gold rise into record-breaking high numbers as we have been experiencing lately with above $1100 values, my common senses tell me that "what goes up, must come down." This is truly an unpleasant position to be in because you don't want to buy gold when the gold market is sitting on the bubble. It would be nice if an investor can short-sell gold, but there is no such option in the gold bullions.

The next best option, is to invest in gold funds. The easiest way to see what is available to you is to browse over to the website of your local bank or investment agent to review their precious metals portfolio. There are always a fund on their portfolio dealing specifically with gold commodities or in gold-based manufacturing corporations. The advantage of working with funds is that fund managers are able to play the investment game from many angles. If the gold market is on the rise, your fund manager will buy. When the gold market is on the decline, they will sell and profit-take or they can even short if they are confident that the market is on a strong decline.

If you have never setup an investment portfolio, I would strongly recommend diversifying your portfolio by acquiring some gold funds. It is a safe, stable, and long-term strategy for growing your net worth.

Gold Apple iPhone

I was wondering about what other blog posts related to gold could be covered on this site and then I tried looking for various items in gold to see what else is out there for us gold junkies. To my surprise, there is a shit load of stuff that that is either covered, dipped, or cast in gold.

Out of jolly ole England, I learned of the company named Continental Mobiles who has been making gold versions of various cellular phones to give that added touch of uniqueness to your most essential communication device.

One of the hot-selling feature items of Continental Mobiles is the Apple iPhone Featuring here is the Apple iPhone in 24-karat gold. What better way to personalize the best mobile phone out there than to showcase the phone in gold, a touch that adds uniqueness to your sense of fashion that will ensure that you are unique in your device.

All phones from Continental Mobiles are delivered with an exclusive Gold Card. Just like Apple change the game in the MP3 scene with the Apple iPhone and its incredibly massive Apple iTunes online music store and library, Apple did it again with the iPhone. The smartphone features a large 3.5-inch glass touchscreen with a native resolution of 480x320.

As with everything design by Apple, extreme care and detail was focused on usability and the best user experience in the market. There is only one button on the iPhone, which I call the Home Button. The device is almost entirely operated by the amazingly precise touchscreen.

Something to note is that not the entire phone metal case is covered in gold. Only the front bezel is covered in gold, which was a bit of a disappointment to me. I've seen other pictures on the internet that show the entire metal case in gold.

If you are interested in viewing the entire collection of products from the Continental Mobiles, please visit their website at http://www.continentalmobiles.com and browse at their selection of gold products. However, whatever product you choose, would surely be unique, but is probably not what I would consider an investment.
