Daily Precious Metal Market Update

August 24, 2009 – Precious metal retirement accounts have protected hundreds of thousands of investors in the past eight years as mutual and bond backed retirement accounts floundered amidst our contracting economy. The United States is currently facing the worst financial crisis it has seen since the Great Depression, and this has caused paperbacked assets to wither away significantly while precious metal retirement accounts increased in value more than 300% between 2001 and 2008. Fortunately, many wise American investors were able to protect their hard-earned wealth with gold and silver IRAs that are being considered some of the best ways to preserve ourselves amidst these troubling economic times.

Gold Spot Price = $953.40 per ounce, increasing $12.60
