Oxford Assaying and Refining Corporation Sees Golden Opportunity for Investing in Precious Metals

People are flocking to gold as the Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to fall. The price of gold continues to increase as people see the precious metal as a safe investment in troubling times.

Anchorage, AK (PRWEB) June 25, 2008 -- Those in the precious metals business, like Oxford Assaying and Refining Corporation, are watching the price of gold continue to rise.
The United States' economy is seeing rough times. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost eleven points in 2008 and investors are left searching for more reliable investment opportunities. Gold is a shining opportunity for many investors, especially as prices continue to increase - up 46% since 2006.

Gold can help diversify one's portfolio and reduce overall risk. Gold's appeal lies in the fact that its price behave differently from the stock market. This behavior isn't always positive, but can often look appealing during an economic slowdown or signs of inflation.
Another downside to investing in gold is that the Internal Revenue Service can tax long-term gains up to 28%, much more than the 15% maximum on gains from securities and dividends.

Randy Carver, president of Carver Financial Services, says gold "is too narrow, it's too volatile, and historically it hasn't made much money for people."
While gold may be a risky investment, the price is still rising and people are choosing the risk of gold. Toni Logan Goodrich, co-owner of Oxford Assaying and Refining Corporation, was featured in the Record Eagle recently. She was seen displaying gold flakes, nuggets and finished products at the shop.

Oxford Assaying and Refining Corp. is located in Anchorage, Alaska. The corporation handles gold that is bought, sold and traded by their clients.
