    Absolutely love this channel. Way too many out there that are always shouting that the end is near and gold is the only way to survive. Others touting gold as a way to get rich. Really appreciate the nuance that it’s a savings method that has a chance to appreciate, and that you shouldn’t go crazy turning all your money into gold (though that’s better than the ways many people spend money).

    I buy fractional gold every two weeks because that's what I can afford without saving up cash. Yes, I realize I'm paying a higher premium, but the premiums you mentioned (as high as 17% for a 1/10 AGE) are less than the annual increase in price. I'd rather accomplish a small goal on a regular basis than fail at a larger goal on the regular. TL;DR hold fractional gold long enough you'll beat the premium.

    Great advice, IMO, and well worth the time to watch and listen. My dad was one of those 1-liner guys and he had a saying for just about any occasion. One of his favorites was: "You never learn anything with your mouth open." Because of that, I learned to listen when good advice came along. As to gold, yes, the national mint is usually a great option for gold and silver coins, as these very often will be easier to sell than foreign coins. I make an exception for the Canadian Maple Leaf coins. Living in a northern tier of the US means that Canada is less than 300 miles from my home, so it is pretty easy to sell Maples and every LCS around here usually has them in stock. I ventured a little from this to include some gold Britannias but since the UK is one of our closest allies, it seemed good to get some of these coins. I have both 1-oz. and fractional oz. gold coins and really like the flexibility they give when selling. It's good to be able to sell a smaller amount of gold than an oz., especially during a time of very high inflation, where I would want to keep more of my wealth in gold and only sell as much as I need to sell to maintain a decent lifestyle. Yes, this costs more per oz. than the 1-oz. coins but the added flexibility is well worth it to me. Others can and will disagree on this point and that's fine. I like reading and hearing comments from others that differ from my own. This is a really good way to learn and all comments are considered.

The big malls in the capital where the main dealers are closed and my gold was practically useless as there was nowhere to sell it. So I don't overdo it, but keep gold at about 10% of my portfolio.

    In Europe I have consistently noticed that historical gold coins like Roosters, Vreneli, Sovereigns or Ducats have a lower premium AND a lower spread than modern bullion coins, and they are as liquid as gold can be. I don't know if spread and liquidity are also good in the US for those coins, but I do know one thing: modern mints can make money on modern bullion coins and they can't on historical ones, so modern coins are advertised and historical ones aren't. So the fact that modern coins are popular might be due to the advertising more than to them being a better option. Any thoughts?

Pamp bars are pretty standard everywhere. The only gold I ever heard bad things about was Aussie because there was a bunch of fakes, but that was over a decade ago. Where are Eagles hated? Middle East? I know they hate Americans there, and they certainly look down on Africans. I never knew what real racism was until I visited the Persian Gulf. Whoa. I do not understand it.

So was 9 mm ammo. But .41 mag ammo was eating me out of house and home, so I fought back via reloading.
