I would love to buy gold right now but thanks to the dipshit in office I am unable to drop that kind of money. What I have worked into my budget is buying silver. This is something I plan on doing for the rest of my life. My goal is to purchase at least $100 of silver every month. I just did so from SDBullion and got myself three 1oz silver bars.
My question, for those of you that have already been investing into precious metals for a while, what is the best bang for my buck? What weights do you recommend? What sellers do you recommend? Is it better for my to keep buying 1oz bars each month or set aside money each month until I have enough to get a 5oz or a 10oz bar?
APMEX sells select items through walmart_com. Sometimes you get a better deal there than from APMEX themself, especially if paying by card. I don't know if they charge everyone sales tax or just those in states that tax metals. Boooo! But be sure it's sold and shipped by APMEX.
It might be worth saving up for a few months to get a tube of 20 coins. That should result in a lower per ounce price and save on shipping. I'm not sure I would recommend that right now. It's near a one month low right now. And you might want some in your hand now given the uncertainty of everything.
You can buy gold for as little as $5 in the form of Goldbacks. Cool product.
