Fortunately, many business are recognizing a fifth and a more



important source, commodities. Without commodities, business can

become risky at any point in time. These commodities can range from

inventory, to natural commodities like diamonds and gold.

Your question would be, why choose natural commodities like gold?

There are many reasons: Unlike many commodities, there prices are not

affected nor related by all the other assets (for example, inventory

is directly related to the business type). Gold is much more stable

in any economy and would do good for any company or even personal

savings for your future. Independent studies have shown that while

alternative assets and traditional diversifiers often fail during

times of market stress or instability, even a small allocation to

gold may significantly improve the consistency of portfolio

performance during both stable and unstable financial periods.
