2023 has been a very active year in the Precious Metals industry. Many Americans now understand that the future looks very grim for the U.S. dollar and the banking sector in general. Our country's debt has reached a point of no return and our the Fed is printing money at the fastest pace in the history of the world. Investing in physical gold and silver bullion coins (and bars) as part of a well diversified IRA investment strategy is now considered one of the best ways to protect your portfolio and preserve your wealth in case of an imminent systemic disaster.

Reasons Savvy Investors Are Embracing Gold & Silver

  • Wealth Preservation.
  • Portfolio Diversification.
  • Protection against the imminent crash of the banking system.
  • Protection against devalued US dollar.
  • Tangible asset that has maintained its purchasing power in 100 years.

Precious Metals are NOT Recommended for Those

  • Seeking short-term investments. (c.f. buy and sell overnight)
  • Retiring soon (less than 2-3 years away)
  • Investing less than $10,000 (or overall portfolio size less than $50,000).
