Stock Market was Not Happy With Fed's Talk

Yesterday the Fed gave a statement that basically stated a modest economic recovery. That was obviously not what was expected. This created a loss of confidence in the economic recovery any many investors (or gamblers) sold off their stocks in a hurry.

There were other news items that some bring in relationship: China reported some weaker-than-expected retail sales figures and Japan reported slow machinery orders and a moderate economic outlook didn't help. But that these things are related to the sell-off in the US is a little far fetched.

After the bell things got worse with Cisco: marketwatch.com reports, that that shares of Cisco Systems Inc. lost close to nearly 8% after the close on Wednesday evening. The provider of  multi-protocol routers and other network equipment did not hit Wall Streets's expectations in regards to its quarterly revenue and fiscal first-quarter outlook.

What's the solution to this?



Well there are many. But one thing that always proves to be very profitable in times like this, is to invest in Gold and especially Gold coins. While nobody can guarantee that you will make any profit, the history has shown that in times of financial uncertainty investments in Gold and Gold coins can be very profitable.

The easiest way to get started with Gold investing is to buy a few Gold Bullion coins. The only problem is that they are directly tied to the price of Gold. If you on the other hand spend a little time and learn about rare coins, you investment can be much more profitable.

Rare Gold coins are also related to the price of Gold, but they usually do not jump up and down every hour. And if you pick the right Gold coins, you can you protect yourself from the downside risk of bullion and give yourself long-term growth that only rare coins can provide.
