Could anyone here suggest some material on investment and hobby gold purchases?.... The DOs and Donts ... Quoting: rccola Physical gold and silver are generally used as a hedge rather than a straight up investment. The gold price of today has finally risen back to where it was in the 2011-2012 time frame, so in other words if you bought gold 8-10 years ago, you've been losing money every year up until recently. The strategy I personally use for gold and silver is to buy small amounts throughout the year (cost averaging). I buy from either Kitco or JM Bullion. For gold I usually buy either the 1 ounce or 1/2 ounce Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins. For silver I usually buy the 1 ounce Canadian Maple Leafs, and the 5 ounce and 10 ounce bars. I try to keep approximately 10% of my total investments in physical gold/silver (although over the last 3 years it's been closer to 3%-5% of my total with the boom in the stock market), and use it as a hedge rather than a money making investment. Not in AUD. Gold has tripled in price since 2008. |

As soon as they stop the money will flood into bitcoin which is an inevitability anyway. They cannot keep juicing their fake markets without inflation spreading elsewhere. |

When I graduated HS my grandfather gave me 40oz of gold he bought at around $300/oz with premium. That ended up being my downpayment on my first house. When he passed he left me a suitcase full of franklin halves. That was enough to get me into PMs. Unfortunately my 401k took a huge hit about 10 years ago and I cashed that (20k) out to buy 800 morgans and 200 oz of silver at the top $48/oz. I got the 2 100oz bars at spot but they were old poured bars so I sold them at a nice premium a few years ago and the morgans are now worth what I paid for everything. Since that time I think the majority of my stack was purchased around 13-14/oz as I thought that would be as close to a low as it could get. I would feel comfortable buying now but I suspect the mysterious $50 mark will be hard to surpass. If price ever goes past that, I think we will never see a price below that again. Just my 2 cents. |

This is good advice, and any of the govt sponsored mint bullion rounds are great, so I just get American Eagles in gold and silver. I do not have a lot though, maybe 1% of my portfolio, but started to also collect coins with numismatic value as a hobby so that bumps up the number a bit. |

The Euro is doomed, the Fed has lost control of short term interest rates ergo repo operations, Asia is swirling the drain, the EU and Japan have destroyed their bond markets, QE, bail-in, bail-outs. See the trend? The US economy is the only thing holding up the rest of the world and will be the last man standing but it too will fall in the end. Governments are broke. If you don't pay the taxes on property they will send the sheriff to take it from you at the point of a gun to be auctioned off. Inflation eats dollars, negative rates eat dollars so dollar savings needed to pay taxes down the road get eaten up slowly with banks or can evaporate instantly in the risk markets. What to do? First, keep your mouth shut, a rule broken by many here. Second, physical gold and silver within arms reach protected by bull dogs and shotguns. Maybe start a new hobby like backyard farming? |
