Gold

Precious metals-----draft

Amassing a small fortune. Always wanted to have the gold coins I once had with the safe. Got now. And silver like the Atocia shipwreck.

Istanbul Gold Refinery makes quality metal.

Would you trust Joe from Gardner Coins, Gardner Mass.? 

I did because..It 

Sigma Metalics Verifier passed test since the coin was not issue as pure buy 90% gold or 22 karat

I had my gold coin verifed at a local dealer. Few days later I was interested in a generic silver eagle that was in their display. Had the clerk put on their analyszer and it was confirmed fake.

Gold and silver have had a tremendous run up in prices in the last year.

There are many "silver stacker" youtubers and this guy is quite good even though he's named in a class action lawsuit for promoting cd bullion's claim of having the lowest prices. Why would you even make that claim with the wild gyractions of spot metals prices. 

His actual data confirmed that the generics gave a better net profit than the high premium and more popular US Mint Silver Eagles.

There are many "experts" offering advice online. I'm choosing three of the following who I like.

I liked the look of my IGR cast silver bar from Istanbul Gold Refiners in Turkey. Quality couldn't find a good video.

Scottsdale Mint president video knowledgeable and informative on the metals markets. Began in Arizona but recently moving to Casper Wyoming.

Mike Maloney president of Goldsilver.com at the New Orleans Investor Conference shares a lot of wisdom.

Buying online is easy. Money Metals in Idaho is a reputable company although I chose JM Bullion for my first order as they offered new customers and ounce of gold at spot price, no commision. Free shipping no tax on bullion orders over $1000 (also applies buying from local dealers).

Investing, predicting, gambling is an unsure enterprise. There are all sorts of "fundamental" analysts using a variety of economic principles as well as many "technical" analysts using a variety of charts. The chartists like to use the fibonnaci retracement levels to establish lows and highs and ceilings floors for their analyses.
