Pope Benedict XVI, in a traditional message Urbi et Orbi on Christmas Day, called on the world to stop the violence and revenge. Pope's 82-year-old showed no sign of tension after a woman who 'mental instability' hit and made her fall, at Christmas Eve Mass, Thursday night.  In the Urbi et Orbi message from the main balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the pope urged the world to rediscover the simplicity of Christmas and read the message of Christmas greetings in 65 languages. When the Pope spoke to tens of thousands of people in the field below, the Vatican remained focused on the incident Thursday night, which again questioned, how the pope should be protected when close to the masses.

Susanna Maiolo (25 years), a citizen of Italy and Switzerland, surprising the world's Catholics and Vatican security when she suddenly jumped the security barricade at the Basilica, jumped to the Pope, took his robe and made her fall to the floor. The Vatican declared that women are psychologically 'unstable' and not armed. Maiolo then taken to a hospital in Italy for psychological treatment. Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said, Friday, that can not be super-imposed tight security for the Pope because of proximity to people is part of the mission. "It is impossible to prevent the occurrence of something, even at close range," said Lombardi told reporters.

"The Pope wants direct pastors relationship and close to the people, where he can touch the children, shaking hands, do what you want him to do and what people expect him to do," said Lombardi.  He added, "If you impose a super tight security, it is not possible. It can not be in direct contact with people, away from them, contrary to the spirit of his mission. So, therefore, there is always a risk," he said.

Why Gold Bullion Investing is Very Popular

Investment in gold has been mostly done by those who want to protect their money from losses that might occur due to inflation and the facts proved, when high inflation then gold prices will rise higher than inflation, which occurred at that time. From the statistics I have seen that when inflation reached 11 percent, then gold will rise 14 percent. Suppose if the 22 percent inflation, then gold will rise 33 percent.

This is why you should consider investing in gold, and gold investing right now is still believed to be able to ward off inflation. The higher inflation is usually the value of your gold will get better and increase the value of this gold is directly proportional to the rate of inflation. However, worth noting that the price of gold will tend to a constant when the low inflation rate, even if it tends to slightly decrease the rate of inflation below two digits.

Gold investment is available in several options and it depends on your desire, investment gold coins or bullion, and it is very popular for long-term investment. When you invest in gold for the short term, usually it will be difficult to get a profit if gold jewelry because you have to pay the price of gold plus the cost of manufacture. Well, when you later sell it back, then the store would not want to pay the cost of manufacture of gold jewelry but only pay the price of gold alone.

Gold investment in my opinion good enough to protect our assets from inflation fluctuations. Gold coin is quite good when used as an investment, and whoever does not deny that gold coin was also easy for resale. In addition, gold coins or bars do not ask for it as well as the cost of gold jewelry. Therefore, if you want to invest gold, then there's nothing wrong you are considering investing in gold bullion.
