Or rather, invest in gold and combat inflation should be the correct title, I know I’d be flamed for this, but hey, it’s for your own good.
It comes as no history to everyone that whenever US Dollar falls, the price of Gold will rise and vice versa. To protect your own fund that is losing out to inflation, you’ll learn that from time to time it’s good to have your funds diversified elsewhere to protect the losing value of your fiat currency.
I had a fun time watching Kitco charts on gold prices when the price of my gold differed greatly from day to day basis in E-gold when it was in the 640 to 690 dollars an ounce range. I would suggest everyone to read Mark Herpel’s article on Time to Buy More Gold to learn about the two different school of thoughts when it comes to buying your bullion.
If purchasing digital gold, the online company will hold your precious metal locked away in one of their insured vaults. Your funds transfer when making the purchase but you only see the balance of your online account rise. Digital gold is a book entry style of gold ownership. This method of gold ownership is safe, modern, convenient and best of all cost efficient.
Many articles have been around on why you should be investing in Gold, I’d guide you on how-to for now on the digital end.
Enter BullionVault
A Little about BullionVault
It was about a year plus ago and was introduced via a Yahoo Group that I actively participate in. Bullionvault was offering a gram of gold for free to try out their service (and it’s still giving that one gram for you now). It’s a good way to get things started without depositing money in first to test out their service (Yes, $25.50 for free to start with).
They are a Ltd company registered in the UK and based in Hammersmith, London.
2 King Street Cloisters,
Clifton Walk,
Hammersmith,
London,
W6 0GY
UNITED KINGDOM
Telephone: +44 (0)20 8741 3470
You can always do a due diligence on your own on BV by heading to the Companies website and search for Garlmarley Ltd.
BullionVault offers you an opportunity to either buy (and hold, keep your gold) or even buy and sell (gold trading) on their driven dealing platform. Your gold is stored in vaults (duh) and managed by Via Mat. A little on Via Mat,
Via Mat is the independent professional bullion market vault operator selected by BullionVault to look after BullionVault gold.
Via Mat is one of the largest vault operators and secure transportation businesses on Earth. They operate widely in North and South America, Europe and the Far East. In their home country of Switzerland they dominate the business of physical assets custody and transportation. They are the trusted carrier Swiss banknotes, as they travel between the central bank and the various branches of the Swiss banking industry.
Your gold is protected by Via Mat’s extensive physical security measures, and by externally underwritten insurance. It would be impossible for any private store of bullion to be so thoroughly secured, and then insured at such low cost (included within your custody charge).
You have choices of storing your gold in either London (United Kingdom), New York (United States of America) or Zurich (Switzerland)
If you’re worried about BV, here’s a reassuring statement,
The company now has a bank balance sufficient to operate the business according to the expansion plan for three full years even in the absence of any revenue, and at the end of that time it would still have resources to pay back all its debt. As revenues already cover unexpanded operating costs, and because they continue to grow, the substantial cushion of operating cash is unlikely to reduce materially during the current phase of expansion.
Good and Easy to understand FAQ
First after registering with them, head off to their FAQ and read all about BV, your buy and sell how-to, and also validate yourself with them (anti-money laundering policies I guess), withdrawals and more. Isn’t it always a good habit to read FAQs before starting with anything?
A Gram of Gold Free to Test Out
If you’re thinking of registering just to withdraw the free gram of gold, I’d suggest for you not to waste time. Unless you’re a fantastic gold trader who manages to fold 4 times of what they’ve given you (at least a $100 balance which is close to impossible), you won’t be able to withdraw them out.
Still its nice to see the balance of your free gold gram and decide to purchase some more and watch your digits grow when gold price goes up, (Of course, not the other way round)
Note that you’re not allowed to use debit/credit cards or any other forms of currency to buy your Gold from BullionVault, the only way in is via Bank Wire. A typical Bank Wire would usually clear within the day depending on bank charges (it’ll cost you $30 here probably, there you go! The gram of gold for your wire!)
Buying Gold on BullionVault
- First of all, validate yourself with them by sending your documents. They’ll require two of them, 1) Your ID/ Passport and 2) Your bank account statement (3 days max, mine took 1 day the most). If you have problem with this, use their Live Help Desk, they’ve been really helpful for me.
- Head to your bank to wire the amount of money you would like to purchase your Gold.
- Wait for the email from BullionVault to inform you that your money is in.
-
Purchase with selection of your choice!
Also, you’ll probably receive an email from Mr. Paul Tustain, CEO BullionVault himself with some instructions on how to fund, buy and sell your gold.
Again, Why Gold?
Simply put, precious metals like gold and silver are suppose to be safe haven, one of the best choice to combat inflation against currency. To end it with a strong note, read more about why you should be having gold as a good diversification investment with the articles below,

Sign Up For An Account with BullionVault
Sign up with them, look at their vault videos, use the free $25 to test out their service and if you like them, fund your account and start combating fiat national currency inflation. As of dropping this article, gold has reached new heights yet again, $804 per ounce now, woot.

Sounds like a very sound investment. I wouldn’t just open an account for the free gram ($25) though. They charge a $4 per month fee for insurance, so the gram would quickly get eroded away. It’s only makes sense if you are going to buy at least a few thousand dollars worth of gold.
>>>You pay for storing and insuring your gold. The fee is $4 >>>per month for up to $40,000 of gold. Thereafter it is 0.12% >>>per year.
Indeed you’re right. I’ve over looked that point. Anyway the gram would have eroded away as well if you are actually depositing with them since you’ll be charged like 20 – 30 USD fr a wire to them as well.

stock tips lists only go after penny stocks which are arguably more difficult to anticipate the behavior of because they behave with much more volatility than greater priced stocks and it takes less trading influence to affect their prices. There is also obviously much more profit potential associated with lower-priced stocks which is why it’s commonplace to see them quickly appreciate in value in the short term in quick bursts.
