I just don't believe all the hype about gold being a great place to park money right now. The price of gold has been at a plateau for the past 3 years, with ups and downs, but it just doesn't look like there is the big climb the gold sellers are trying to tell potential customers. If gold was such a great buy, wouldn't they put all their resources into buying it for themselves, rather than selling it to others?
Any thoughts on gold are appreciated.
Buy silver not gold. More underpriced. Take delivery or dont count on owning when SHTF happens
It's for a retirement account, so 'THEY have to hold it until I start withdrawing, at that time, I can either have the gold sent to me, or have the dollar equivalent credited to me.
I don’t know much about the subject, but from what I understand, you want to have actual possession of metals. Otherwise it is just a digital number and you can get screwed if the SHTF.
The companies advertising that they have gold IRAs SAY it's physical gold, kept in their vaults, but you do wonder if they really just have the paper claim to the gold YOU buy.
If I buy something and the company has to store my purchase, wouldn’t there be a hearty charge? Between climate control and an absolutely massive amount of security, there is no way they could absorb the costs….logic tells me it’s only paper.
