Six gold investments to buy to curb the worst of the COVID-19 fallout include four mining stocks, quality coins and Perth Mint certificates backed by the precious metal itself.
These six gold investments to buy offer ways to gain exposure to the appreciation potential of the precious yellow metal, while reining in the risk of miners working near each other amid limited space for social distancing. Two non-equity ways to invest in gold only offer minimal risk to COVID-19 for investors who want an alternative to the possibility of a virus outbreak in mining operations around the world that might cause extended shutdowns.
However, the four mining stocks included among the six gold investments to buy have shown that it is possible to respond to instances of COVID-19 among their employees and take action to halt the spread of the disease. During the past 20 years, gold has risen 164.7% more than silver, jumped 235.9% further than NASDAQ, leaped 330.3% beyond the Dow Jones Industrial Average, soared 418.5% higher than the S&P 500 and trounced the falling price of oil.

“Gold is an age-old storehouse of wealth,” said Hilary Kramer, host of a national radio program called “Millionaire Maker” and head of the Value Authority and GameChangers advisory services. “If you’re primarily worried about losing what you have to inflation, a slowing economy or even social upheaval, this is your shield.”
