May 21, 2009 – Gold Eagle coins have become the standard in precious metal investment portfolios because the modern-day bullion American Eagles are the most popular bullion coin the world while the pre-1933 certified Double Eagles are the most popular investment-grade certified rare coins in the world. As you may already know, these two categories of goal Eagle coins could provide either short-term profit potential or long-term preservation potential for investors who diversify correctly, and in the past few years their popularity has increased exponentially as the word has been passing around saying that they could be the investment of the generation during troubling economic times. The United States economy is currently in a severe recessionary cycle that is being considered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and masses of wise investors have lost significant portions of their wealth with mainstream investing markets while many who held gold Eagle coins have made impressive profit to say the least. Fortunately, several market analysts believe that we’re only in the middle of a gold cycle, which means that further gains may be acquired by those investors who diversify correctly before it’s too late.
By around 2 PM Eastern Standard Time, both bullion and certified rare gold Eagle coins are extending their gains for the trading session because wise American investors are currently flocking to precious metals as their secret weapon from a floundering economy. The gold spot price is currently sitting at around $954.20 per ounce, spiking up $17 for the trading day and also spiking up $70.90 in the last 30 trading days.
