How to store your wealth? In previous articles I have discussed owning gold and 
silver bullion, stocks and coins. Another store of wealth that has stood the test of time is gold and silver jewelry. Not usually thought of in the same light as other gold and silver investments, still it does have its advantages. Often overlooked, jewelry has some major benefits as an investment, listed below.

Stay Safe With Gold And Silver Part 2, Stocks Or Bullion?
In my last article, I discussed investing in numismatics and bullion coins. Now, let's look at miner stocks vs. gold and silver bullion in my ongoing quest to find the best way to stay safe, and still profit during difficult times.
According to an article by Lawrence Williams on Mineweb, after years of selling, for the last 2 years the banks are buying gold bullion again.
LONDON (MINEWEB) -
"According to the latest IMF statistics at least 12 countries are known to have increased their gold reserves in March indicating the continuation of a trend now going back more than two years, and one which has been on its own a substantial supporter of the higher gold prices seen over the period. Overall Central Banks appear to have purchased no less than 58 tonnes in the month, which could suggest an acceleration in their increases in holdings if buying at this rate continues throughout the year."

Money Morning Article of the Week

Gold prices had gold bugs giddy in the fall of 2011. In September, the luminous yellow metal touched an intraday high of $1,920 a troy ounce, putting the precious metal up roughly 35% for the year.
At the time it seemed like investors, traders and even the guy at the corner store were all buying, hoarding, and lusting for gold. But the stellar gains were short lived, and by the end of the year gold prices had fallen by nearly 20%. Part of the striking decline in gold was due to the fact that the "smart" money that had once been amongst gold's biggest cheerleaders, sold it.
Some booked profits, some sold it to reflect gains in portfolios, others were forced to sell to meet margin requirements, and others wanted to start the New Year with a clean slate.
