Instead of attempting to outguess the market, SwissGold is supported on averaging costs. This system has been set up for uncomplicated and systematic reserves. If an investor for instance decides he wants to place $300 into gold every month. The investor’s $300 will go into gold every month no matter what goes on in the market. Eventually the purchase of gold will be under that of the average market price during the same time.
All this is what is known as cost averaging and the good thing about it is that it does not have need of market knowledge and capability in the case of the investor, the only thing the investor has to do is continue making the same fixed investment every single month, no matter what goes on in the market. Probably the best thing to do if you decide this is the route you want to take is to avoid looking at the market prices.
Stock market investors use a method that is very similar to the one just mentioned. The idea of cost averaging is the same no matter what is being purchased. What they do is invest an amount in dollars that is fixed every month instead of purchasing a fixed unit share or one ounce.
