For that reason they’ve held their value for millennia. The few risks precious metals investors have to think about are various forms of theft, like burglary, government seizure, and trustee fraud. We believe gold and silver buyers should always keep a small portion of their holdings close at hand, in a safe but easily accessible location. But, never keep all your eggs in one basket. The larger your investment, the more important physical storage diversification becomes. The golden rule is to make certain your bullion is owned outright, and unencumbered. To achieve this:
Only hold metals in accounts that are your title and ownership. Avoid pool accounts, for example, where you only have a theoretical claim on someone else’s metals. That includes fractional schemes like “bits” and ETFs where more than one person can claim rights to the same bar.
Avoid metals that are or can be “hypothecated” by the trustee, i.e. lent out to cover anyone’s debts but your own, like anything provided by the banking system.
USE a service that assures your metals will be there when you need them. Avoid promissory notes and certificates that aren’t third-party insured, or schemes that require the trustee to purchase metals at market when you request delivery.
With GoldSilver Vault Storage, accounts are titled in your name, or in the name of an entity you control, assuring direct ownership. Secure, efficient physical delivery is just a few mouse clicks away. The entire process is all under the supervision of the world’s top vault providers and third party auditors. And every single ounce is fully insured up to $50 million.If you enjoyed watching this video, be sure to pick up a free copy of Mike’s bestselling book, Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver: http://ift.tt/2pScnQh
