b) Bullion is a highly liquid asset compared to property, for example. While bullion will find bidders and buyers quickly using online websites like Ebay, for example. While finding buyers for property can take months.
c) Silver, gold, platinum, palladium bullion are universally accepted in exchange for fiat currency. This supports the 'highly liquid' argument.
d) Acquiring and liquidating bullion, albeit bullion bars or coins, is quick and easy, especially for the small to medium investor. The internet offers a broad choice of bullion dealers and auction type vehicles for buying and selling bullion.
e) Bullion acts as a hedge against inflation and the declining value of fiat money.
f) Allocating a portion of one's investment resources into precious metal bullion, is considered by many professional advisors as a legitimate and prudent strategy of 'diversification'. And functions as a 'stored value' asset.
g) There maybe certain tax advantages achieved by investing in bullion, depending on one's domicile. In the United States for example, tax rules allow bullion investments as part of Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
