Today we are going to look at various forms of holding metals as a hedge against other investments.   Many times metals are considered a hedge against inflation.  They certainly can be such but I find that to be to limiting.  Metals can do well in an up economy or a down economy and they can also at times go flat and down, they are only one piece of your investments but a critical one you need to get right.  Today we will also look at metals beyond gold and silver, such as rare earth and even base metals.

My hope today is to help you understand money from as many new perspectives as possible.  If you think about it nothing in general has a greater effect on the lives of most Americans than money.  Money is why we work, how we provide our housing and food, how we are taxed and how our class structure is defined.  We can deny this if we choose to but a family with a gross income of 100,000 dollars a year lives a much more comfortable life than one with a gross income of say 25,000  a year. Yet if you ask … Continue reading →
