Here are some of the basic “do’s” and “do not’s” of precious metals investing. If you want to maximize your chances of making a successful investment that could protect and grow your wealth, you will do well to remain within these parameters.

DO PRECIOUS METALS INVESTING with a reputable exchange that is willing to ship your investment to your door. A reputable company is defined as a company with a better Business Bureau (www.BBB.org) rating of A or better, and an A+ rating is preferable. Companies should have one or fewer complaints, because reputation is the cornerstone of the gold industry.

DON’T DO PRECIOUS METALS INVESTING based on a celebrity endorsement or sponsorship. Firms that employ celebrities to hawk their products typically charge 15-20% more than fair market value for precious metals, so investing with these companies is similar to putting more money directly in the pocket of your favorite radio or television personality.

DO PRECIOUS METALS INVESTING with a broker who listens to your concerns and investment goals. If you contact a precious metal broker who just wants to shove a particular product down your throat, run, don’t walk, the other way.

DON’T DO PRECIOUS METALS INVESTING with commissioned brokers, because their personal agenda could easily influence the outcome of your investment. Contact one of the nation’s dealer-to-dealer trading platforms, such as the Certified Gold Exchange, for assistance from friendly, non-commissioned experts.
