During relatively stable economic times, I would not have a problem storing my metals in a remote vault service such as yours....even one offshore. But most true stackers accumulate metals as an insurance policy against global financial meltdown, in which case having 20, 30, or 100 thousand worth of metals stored in a facility 2,000 miles away wont do me any good at all. If you think a flood may be coming, do you want a boat in your backyard, or do you want a piece of paper saying you own a boat in the Cayman Islands? Just food for thought.
My thoughts too. I'd rather keep with me than in a bank or some vault. There might even be a tiny clause in the agreement somewhere saying they are not liable for losing our stored metals in times of war or etc. However, anything stored at home may risk being stolen or exposed to risk of disasters such as fire etc... Perhaps a good idea is to get them insured. Having them in forms of jewelry so you can wear them is a good way to always have them with you too. It's what people in asia do.

You should of mentioned the Gold Silver Ratio for beginners. Some stackers I watch say go all in on silver because the ratio is so high right now. But you mentioned as I am learning, the shear weight of silver gives it a slight disadvantage to gold. I think I heard Gerald Celante say once that he prefers gold over silver because of the ease of portability.
Hi Joseph, the gold silver ratio is definitely a relevant point and will be addressed in a future episode, 100%. Thank you for your feedback. Enjoy the rest of the episodes.
Celente is a multi millionaire so if he bought silver he would need a Walmart to store in. While same monetary amount of gold would take up a bathroom stall in the Walmart. Silver outperforms gold wether up or down. Gold goes up or down 5x silver will follow 10-20x faster. In next recession it is said silver may outperform 30x faster. Unless you plan on investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, silver is there way to go.

Price ratio is something to consider. Right now the ratio is 89/1. It dips below 65/1 every 4-7 years. With that being considered, buy silver when the ratio is high, then trade for gold when the ratio is low. Then back to silver when it goes high again.

rule of thumb one......don't buy if the metal is more expensive than your running average. rule #2 between ratio of 80-75 - compare premiums (over/shortage on stock) either is good, 77 is arguably the dead centre. Rule #3 most important, +81 - buy silver - 75 or less, buy gold.
@@hugosmith6776 That's sound advice, I have some silver I got at 91-1 looking to roll into gold at 65-70. I think this will give me the max amount of gold for the money.
You need to look at the big picture in history. Not just the last fifty years. But over thousands. It was always 15/1 before the stock market and derivatives manipulation started. It fell to 50-60 ish, then got really daft recently. Post crash it will go much closer back to the trend. Remember the REAL ratio is 8-9 to one... As it comes out of the mines. Anything more is a rip off. All I care about is the GSR. I will start swapping back into gold below 15, or hold. Below 10 and I will swap entirely at some point. Or happy to wait. At no point will I sell any metals for junk fiat paper cash!!
As someone who is new to precious metal investments, my initial thought was start with Silver and work my way up to Gold as my portfolio increased and what not. Starting out low and plan to slowly and steadily increase it. Yay or nay? any advice?
it's an investment & spendable with legislation in different States & having a K-exchange. I sent you my link about some from my Federal international gold bullion bar Bank
What's the difference in premium for larger VS smaller silver bars? What is a fair premium for say 1oz coin, 100g bars, 250, 500? Also, when you sell it, do you get a premium? Or do you sell based on the current price only (like 95% of the current price)?
For the first time in my life, I strangly had a dream about walking into this really tall room filled with gold stacked shelves that were supernaturally stacked high. Ever since then I'd stumble upon videos like this.👌
Tarnish is hard to prevent. As long as your buying bullion as opposed to numismatics or collectable silver, tarnish won't have much effect. If your buying collectibles you are going to want to store them in capsules or some kind of protective container and avoid handling them with bare hands/fingers. One of the things not mentioned in the video are rounds vs coins. Coins are struck by sovereign mints and have legal tender value. Rounds are are struck by private mints and do not have legal tender value. I tend to prefer rounds over coins due to their premium and I don't have to worry about how pretty they look when its time to sell.
jec1ny when you mean round you mean bars? Ik it’s a dumb question but I’m starting to buy gold and silver and still trying to figure out whether I should buy coins or bars (whether gold or silver)!
Texas Precious Metals has free shipping on everything and their prices are pretty good too. I buy 1 or 2 ASE at a time and the free shipping adds up fast.
Good silver ratio is at 90-1, prolly 80-1 when this vid was made. Everybody knows over 60-1 u but silver only, wait till it goes to 40-1 and trade in, basically your getting a free ounce of gold.
That is true. For short term gold is safer. But for the long term, post JPMorgan manipulation, the upside in silver will be huge. We have both. But silver is what will make me multiples wealthier. Gold by comparison will merely do OK.

Is it worth buying gold if you can't afford to buy 1 troy ounce at a time? According to the video anything below that is considered gifts. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I am new to precious metals but want to start accumulating. Thanks in advice for any clarification.
Plenty of people buy fractional gold, and getting 1/2, 1/4, or even 1/10 ounce government minted coins isn't a terrible way to get into gold, provided you understand you're paying much higher premiums over a 1 ounce coin or bar. For me personally, in a scenario where buying 1 oz of gold at a time wasn't practical, I'd be focusing on silver. Many would argue you should be focusing on silver right now anyway, given the current gold to silver ratio of 85:1. Stack silver, and when the ratio tightens (your silver becomes more valuable relative to gold), you can flip part of your stack for gold.
Buy it using eBay from reputable dealers and only when you can apply 10x eBay bucks. You can always find gold and silver under spot.. Trust me and if you have a PayPal credit account you can get 6 month no interest.. That's the way to go
I was always under the impression it was better to have smaller amounts like 1oz bars rather than larger ones so that if you were in need you could sell 1oz bars rather that to have to sell off a whole 5 or 10 oz bar.
Great presentation. Nice visual with the bars of metal. I always convert my silver and platinum into 24K gold grain. It stores easily and is easy to resell to the jewelers who need it to make karat gold items. Reselling pure silver, I found, is difficult as I've never met anyone in the jewelry industry who alloys their own sterling.
@@RonJohn63 I bring my precious metal scrap to the refiner (you need a business license to get in. Patriot Act) and instead of taking back a check, I take back 24K grain). I just horde it for now. They charge me a few bucks over spot.
Great information bro, I just have one question.... what happened to the color of your hands at 5:48? Other than that I will be give you guys a look for my next purchase.
1oz gold coins allow you to gradually add to or sell off your gold a little at a time vs a big bar. Gold is used in electronics, and aerospace applications
Wait until premiums drop I’m getting pounds at $15 I’m trying to find larger bulk at 5-50 pounds maybe more to get closer to $3.50 a pound price. Never buy oz
Funny you say that. In the book "Your Money or Your Life" in the first few sentences it says something along the lines of "If you were offered a billion dollars but had to spend the rest of your life in a silent dark room alone you wouldn't take it. It's not the money you want. It's the life the money can buy. The name of the book (Your money or your Life) comes from if a mugger put a gun to your head and said your money or your life you'd give up your money. You value your life more than money. Yet do we? We consistently are given that same deal throughout our lives and we chose money instead of living our life. Great book!
I'm trying to get into the precious metals market but I can't find anything for people who are starting out from the bare bone basics. I bought a few silver Troy ounce coins but I'm trying to learn more. Does anyone have anything to help a homie out? Should I do a 2:1 silver, gold or something different?
It's a compelling argument, true. But I don't think it's "bound" to do anything; the same reasons why this ratio increased thus far might push it even further in the future, and it wouldn't be any less logical. I expect silver to go up significantly, but since its price was mostly suppressed by manipulation thus far, I don't see why manipulation would suddenly cease unless the manipulators were somehow removed from the position of power.
Silver, anti microbial and anti bacterial , mixed with gold, sticks to one spot for a long time and doesn't decay. Company out here in Utah mixes them both at a Nano level and ends up with a liquid that you can spray out of a hose ( think back yard redone pesticide sprayer ) Whatever you spray will remain clean for a very, very long time!

do you guys also store Platinum and what about it will you make a video about the ups and downs of the metal?
Hi Dutch, yes we do sell and store platinum, palladium and rhodium. And thanks for the idea, we may make a video in Season Two about the platinum group metals.
@@SWPCayman love the episodes very profession and cool stuff to see way over my budget im a montly stacker woth a budget of 400 dollars and down most times less😉😁
Whom can we sell silver/platinum in case of requirement of money? who are the potential buyers?
Like to hear about silver gold ratios, and how they may narrow.
rule of thumb one......don't buy if the metal is more expensive than your running average.
rule #2 between ratio of 80-75 - compare premiums (over/shortage on stock) either is good, 77 is arguably the dead centre.
Rule #3 most important, +81 - buy silver - 75 or less, buy gold.
@@hugosmith6776 That's sound advice, I have some silver I got at 91-1 looking to roll into gold at 65-70. I think this will give me the max amount of gold for the money.
We'll definitely consider it for season two.
You need to look at the big picture in history. Not just the last fifty years. But over thousands. It was always 15/1 before the stock market and derivatives manipulation started. It fell to 50-60 ish, then got really daft recently. Post crash it will go much closer back to the trend. Remember the REAL ratio is 8-9 to one... As it comes out of the mines. Anything more is a rip off. All I care about is the GSR. I will start swapping back into gold below 15, or hold. Below 10 and I will swap entirely at some point. Or happy to wait. At no point will I sell any metals for junk fiat paper cash!!

As someone who is new to precious metal investments, my initial thought was start with Silver and work my way up to Gold as my portfolio increased and what not. Starting out low and plan to slowly and steadily increase it. Yay or nay? any advice?
Depends, if you have a good income source and can afford it. Gold if not silver cheap and is said to rise
How does the premium translate to resale/liquidation?
Simple, easy to follow, to the point. Thank you sir.
In the UK gold is VAT free while on silver you pay VAT.
Gold is use in micro electronics, smart phone, sensitive medical equipment, pc motherboard, rams, GPU etc you get my point.
Silver is used way more though. You can't go a day without using some sort of item that has silver in it
Great job. Thanks for sharing valuable information. Keep doing good job

What's the difference in premium for larger VS smaller silver bars? What is a fair premium for say 1oz coin, 100g bars, 250, 500? Also, when you sell it, do you get a premium? Or do you sell based on the current price only (like 95% of the current price)?
inside the vaule: where we store 1/10th of the bullion we claim to have
For the first time in my life, I strangly had a dream about walking into this really tall room filled with gold stacked shelves that were supernaturally stacked high. Ever since then I'd stumble upon videos like this.👌
I would like to stack a bunch of the 10oz gold bars in a vault hidden behind a painting in my house.
Investing Book Summaries Thank you for telling me. I appreciate that. I’m visiting you soon ;)
Are you going start by 1st buying the house or the painting?
What's the average a person tends to hold onto commodities? How do you know when it's a good time to sell?
I have a question?
How likely is silver to tarnish over the years, and how would it affect the selling value?
it doesn't if they're paying spot prices.
Tarnish is likely but it does not affect the value.
Tarnish is hard to prevent. As long as your buying bullion as opposed to numismatics or collectable silver, tarnish won't have much effect. If your buying collectibles you are going to want to store them in capsules or some kind of protective container and avoid handling them with bare hands/fingers. One of the things not mentioned in the video are rounds vs coins. Coins are struck by sovereign mints and have legal tender value. Rounds are are struck by private mints and do not have legal tender value. I tend to prefer rounds over coins due to their premium and I don't have to worry about how pretty they look when its time to sell.
jec1ny when you mean round you mean bars? Ik it’s a dumb question but I’m starting to buy gold and silver and still trying to figure out whether I should buy coins or bars (whether gold or silver)!

Texas Precious Metals has free shipping on everything and their prices are pretty good too. I buy 1 or 2 ASE at a time and the free shipping adds up fast.
Good silver ratio is at 90-1, prolly 80-1 when this vid was made. Everybody knows over 60-1 u but silver only, wait till it goes to 40-1 and trade in, basically your getting a free ounce of gold.
Or 15/1 if it goes back to the 6000 year trend.
Do the silver bars not oxidate? They must turn black in no time. Or are they coated?
Very comprehensive. Well done!
Thank you
I am 16 and getting in to the market love this vids
In the UK, silver bullion attracts VAT, gold doesn't - a significant factor!
That is true. For short term gold is safer. But for the long term, post JPMorgan manipulation, the upside in silver will be huge. We have both. But silver is what will make me multiples wealthier. Gold by comparison will merely do OK.

how do you keep it from oxidation?
@@maitlember9727 Oxidation creates a patina refered to as toning and this in many cases makes the product even more valuable especially for rainbow colors. I have never tried to keep mine from oxidation and honestly after 5 years or more most of it has not changed all that much.

Is it worth buying gold if you can't afford to buy 1 troy ounce at a time? According to the video anything below that is considered gifts. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I am new to precious metals but want to start accumulating. Thanks in advice for any clarification.
Plenty of people buy fractional gold, and getting 1/2, 1/4, or even 1/10 ounce government minted coins isn't a terrible way to get into gold, provided you understand you're paying much higher premiums over a 1 ounce coin or bar.
For me personally, in a scenario where buying 1 oz of gold at a time wasn't practical, I'd be focusing on silver. Many would argue you should be focusing on silver right now anyway, given the current gold to silver ratio of 85:1. Stack silver, and when the ratio tightens (your silver becomes more valuable relative to gold), you can flip part of your stack for gold.
Gold is gold no matter what. I mix the purchases I make. Sometimes 20 oz of silver then a 1/4 oz of gold.
Yeah I buy grams or 1/10 and 1/4 ounce gold. I actually prefer those than the full ounce even though I could get full ounce coins.
Buy it using eBay from reputable dealers and only when you can apply 10x eBay bucks. You can always find gold and silver under spot.. Trust me and if you have a PayPal credit account you can get 6 month no interest.. That's the way to go
In Australia a one ounce gold coin costs 3000 dollars.
I'll just stick with silver, it's bigger.
what means gold low premium?like whats d dif between gold bar 10gr 999 and gold bar 100 999 low premium??
I was always under the impression it was better to have smaller amounts like 1oz bars rather than larger ones so that if you were in need you could sell 1oz bars rather that to have to sell off a whole 5 or 10 oz bar.
If you want to make larger trades it would be handy to have big bars. Such as for cattle or land
How do you calculate the gold or silver value? Or how do you it’s value at all times
Great presentation. Nice visual with the bars of metal. I always convert my silver and platinum into 24K gold grain. It stores easily and is easy to resell to the jewelers who need it to make karat gold items. Reselling pure silver, I found, is difficult as I've never met anyone in the jewelry industry who alloys their own sterling.
Glad you like it Bob. Be sure to share the channel with other gold and silver enthusiasts.
_I always convert my silver and platinum into 24K gold grain._
How? And what premium (or discount) do you sell it for over spot?
@@RonJohn63 I bring my precious metal scrap to the refiner (you need a business license to get in. Patriot Act) and instead of taking back a check, I take back 24K grain). I just horde it for now. They charge me a few bucks over spot.
Nice watch, what is it? Grand Seiko?

1oz gold coins allow you to gradually add to or sell off your gold a little at a time vs a big bar. Gold is used in electronics, and aerospace applications
I need some advice from someone
What up?
What kind of advice?
If you pick it, it will never heal
I have been looking at copper as well!
Wait until premiums drop I’m getting pounds at $15 I’m trying to find larger bulk at 5-50 pounds maybe more to get closer to $3.50 a pound price. Never buy oz
i just wanna eat these bars lol
What about Numismatic gold and silver?
silver is the element with the highest electrical conductivity...
Yes but it tarnishes unlike Gold, which is why you don't see silver contact points in electronics.

Funny you say that. In the book "Your Money or Your Life" in the first few sentences it says something along the lines of "If you were offered a billion dollars but had to spend the rest of your life in a silent dark room alone you wouldn't take it. It's not the money you want. It's the life the money can buy. The name of the book (Your money or your Life) comes from if a mugger put a gun to your head and said your money or your life you'd give up your money. You value your life more than money. Yet do we? We consistently are given that same deal throughout our lives and we chose money instead of living our life. Great book!
I'm trying to get into the precious metals market but I can't find anything for people who are starting out from the bare bone basics.

Nice pic bro
Dissappointed he never mentioned the gold:silver ratio - right now it's at an all time extreme which is bound to change in the coming years.
Yes... Missing the entire point. If anyone is interested in free gold educate yourself on the GSR
Modern ratio is around 50 to 1 not 16 to 1 when both metals were used as money
It's a compelling argument, true. But I don't think it's "bound" to do anything; the same reasons why this ratio increased thus far might push it even further in the future, and it wouldn't be any less logical. I expect silver to go up significantly, but since its price was mostly suppressed by manipulation thus far, I don't see why manipulation would suddenly cease unless the manipulators were somehow removed from the position of power.
Silver, anti microbial and anti bacterial , mixed with gold, sticks to one spot for a long time and doesn't decay. Company out here in Utah mixes them both at a Nano level and ends up with a liquid that you can spray out of a hose ( think back yard redone pesticide sprayer ) Whatever you spray will remain clean for a very, very long time!
