Gold and other precious metal IRAs are an investment and carry risk. Consumers should be alert to claims that customers can make a lot of money in these or any investment with little risk. As with any investment, you can lose money and past performance is not a guarantee of future performance results. Consumers should also obtain a clear understanding of the fees associated with any investment before agreeing to invest.
If you’ve been thinking about investing in gold, read on to learn about different gold investment strategies available in the Baltimore area. The right gold investment option for you will depend on your current financial situation and short- and long-term goals.
How does a gold IRA work?
A gold IRA works like a traditional IRA except that it holds gold insead of paper assets. The account holder can liquidate these assets for cash funds after retirement. There is no tax penalty for transferring from an IRA to a precious metals IRA, but there are storage fees.
Can I put other precious metals in an IRA?
Yes, in addition to gold, you can invest silver, platinum and palladium in an IRA account.
How much gold should I own in my portfolio?
It depends. Some financial advisors suggest putting up to 5% or 10% of your portfolio in gold. We recommend consulting a trusted financial advisor before making any significant investment decision.
Are there taxes on buying gold and silver bullion in Maryland?
Gold and silver are exempt from sales tax in Maryland, as long as the purchase price is at least $1,000.
Is gold a good retirement investment for Baltimore residents?
Depending on your current financial situation and future goals, gold might be a good long-term retirement investment for you. Some investors choose gold to diversify their retirement portfolios because the price of gold tends to move in the opposite direction of paper assets, and it provides an insurance policy against inflation.
Is gold a safe investment right now?
Risks are involved with any investment strategy, which is why diversifying a small portion of your retirement portfolio with gold is a way to hedge your bets. Some investment advisors see gold as a better short-term investment — historically, stocks and bonds have outperformed gold over the long term. The value of gold tends to increase during times of economic uncertainty.
