How to Preserve Wealth - Buy Jewelry

加工...

How to protect one’s wealth has been a conundrum for many investors. To maintain ones wealth for future generations one must overcome the forces of inflation, technological change and darker forces such as depressions and wars. History has shown the stock market and to a lesser extent property as able safe guards for the first two problems investors face.

However depressions and wars create more problems and more uncertainty. Which countries are the safest, the US (after all the US currency is backed by the 101st airborne) or the UK? Will investors be able to repatriate money something assumed in capitalist economies? Even the British found out the hard way during World War 2 that normality cannot be assumed in times of distress.

As the war continued the Bank of England ran short of the dollars it needed to purchase war materials and goods from US corporations and governments. To meet this hour of need the Chancellor of the Exchequer decreed that all British citizens who owed securities in the US to report them to the government.

These securities were then sold and citizens received pounds from the proceeds of the sales. For investors it was the patriotic thing to do. However English investors would certainly have been very nervous about the war in the early 1940’s and not being able to have that cash in the US would have been very nerve wracking for those without further back up plans.

To preserve one’s wealth one would say gold stashed away in Switzerland or other neutral countries. This would definitely help but can the average investor afford to do this and if they can how can they access it in their time of need.

The best answer for investors to protect themselves against the unthinkable is surprisingly jewelry. It is not practical to bury gold bars in the ground or keep it overseas, when in your time of need you cannot access it. Carrying around large gold bars does not seem to be a great idea security wise in a time of uncertainty. However precious metal jewelry is valuable and can be easily transported and hidden. Even when times are tough women have a need for beautiful trinkets. In times of wars soldiers will exchange food and other necessities for jewelry for their girlfriends.

In short jewelry is the best diversification one can have, it keeps its purchasing power as a precious metal yet it is also accessible, highly transportable and can be hidden quite easily. The perfect ‘insurance’ to help feed and protect loved ones if the unthinkable occurs. As what is the point of wealth if you cannot use it and access it when you really need it. Funnily enough, buying jewelry for a loved one can be the best investment you ever make!

Gold and Silver Jewelry in India

Indian farmers don’t trust banks and always buy their wife’s silver or gold jewelry especially bangles. A very smart move by peasant farmers! We have all seen many images of Indian ladies with heaps of bangles on their arms. We know that this is not just for decoration but it is family’s bank, so if floods or disasters strike the family can survive by trading in these bangles’. Of the 4,000 tonnes of silver imported into India each year over 50% is used to make jewelry,that’s over 2,600 tonnes of jewelry and bangles. Gold has import tax but still Indians buy over 1,000 tonnes gold each year but so much is smuggled that the exact figure is a wild guess.

Farmers in India now insist on silver more than gold jewelry due to price increase and prefer 99.9% pure silver jewelry and to be hallmarked, which although common in the west is only a new standard in India. Millions of India farmers have stored their wealth in jewelry for centuries and this demand is expected to continue and gold refiners now prefer Switzerland or Australia refineries as both have high grade silver or gold. Silver and gold coins are also kept as safety measure also and in the past holes were drilled and made into necklace but now they do not drill the coin as it does devalue an uncirculated coin.

TUSANAMI JAPAN 2011 

Keeping the money at home was deemed one of the safer options given the low interest rates found in Japan, (sounds like now the rest of the world). A 2008 report by Japan’s central bank estimated that more of a third of their 10,000 yen notes approx $ 130 did not circulate due to money being kept in safes and mattresses. This amounted to nearly 30 trillion yen or US$390 bn that is kept at home.

This was brought to light during the terrible tsunami that hit Japan in early 2011. Millions of dollars were found floating in safes amid the terrible aftermath of the tsunami. Basically 90% of the money found in the safes was returned to their rightful owners, mainly due to the honesty of the Japanese.

Safes are an important method of keeping money but the problem is do we think our neighbours will be as trustworthy? In most cases we would like to think they would be. But in the time of a disaster like this, the cash is not readily available when yo need it. It took months for the rightful owners to be found.

The best alternative instead of stashing under the mattress, I believe is jewelry. If you wear it, it is there with you at all times and most importantly you have it when you really need it. Japanese wear platinum jewellery more than any other country and is easily tradeable. In WW2 the population had donated all their gold for the war effort but not platinum so that is why platinum is now the most important precious metal for Japanese.

The most important thing is having access to your hard earned savings when you need it and jewellery is one of the only options that allows it.
