A Buying Opportunity

Gold Stone

The gold market has continued to see selling pressure as a combination of bearish factors take a toll on market sentiment.

What does this mean for investors? It means get your hands on some gold now while you still can. Some estimates put the amount of gold available today at approximately 171,000 tons.
