Stability. Wealth Protection. Long-Term Financial Growth.

This is what many Americans are searching for when they invest in precious metals like gold and silver. But what’s the best way to buy these precious metals? Do you buy an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund), or do you get your hands on the real thing? Here’s the thing about ETFs… You don’t actually own the gold or silver. 

You can’t take physical delivery of the metal. Taxes and fees can eat away at your gains. Shares may or may not have sufficient gold or silver backing. But with physical gold or silver, you are the one in the driver’s seat. You have the control you’re looking for with your hard earned money.
