Welcome on into the new Misfphere . We
0:17
have a very important episode for you today
0:19
. This is called
0:21
how to Avoid Buyer's
0:23
Remorse . It's become a hot
0:26
topic as of late , with many new comers
0:28
into the precious metals investment arena
0:30
, and we'd like to go over a few
0:32
tips and strategies to avoid
0:34
that exact situation . But
0:37
before we delve there , let's talk
0:39
about the foundation of investing
0:41
in precious metals . Tyler , why
0:44
is it that somebody may want to invest
0:46
in precious metals ?
0:48
Well , historically , gold and
0:50
silver have essentially
0:52
been God's money . It's been a form
0:55
of trade in human
0:57
history for over
0:59
2,000 years and
1:01
having something that truly has a combination
1:03
of desirability , rarity
1:06
and something that actually takes labor
1:08
to get between
1:11
finding it , mining it , manufacturing
1:14
it . So when you take all
1:16
those things together , it is a
1:18
very desirable material because it
1:20
allows a hedge to
1:23
essentially difficult
1:26
economic times , right so , high inflation
1:28
, volatile markets , and
1:31
while metal is not a guarantee , it
1:33
has certainly been used as a form of investing
1:35
that has helped to mitigate some
1:38
form of risk
1:40
.
1:40
Right . Well , I think that risk is
1:43
something that weighs heavy on people's
1:45
minds these days . There seems to be
1:47
a lot of risk within
1:49
markets , kind of all around , and a lot of
1:51
uncertainty about what may unfold in
1:53
the near time and in the short term
1:55
future .
1:56
I mean , I hate to say it . Just last week we
1:59
broke records with the stock
2:01
market . How many times .
2:02
I think we've been consecutive now in new
2:05
record highs for the stock market for at
2:07
least six consecutive months .
2:09
Right . So when you just kind of keep going
2:11
up and up and up , eventually you
2:14
got to come down .
2:15
It's starting to feel a little bit like a pressure
2:17
cooker , almost .
2:19
Yeah , yeah , quite literally a powder
2:21
keg , because all of these things are lining
2:23
that historically . Yeah , do
2:25
not make any sense , right ?
2:28
You know one of the other things
2:30
that sticks out to me about why
2:32
it is we may want to invest in precious metals
2:35
. I always think to the monetary
2:37
system .
2:38
What are ?
2:38
the people in charge doing . How
2:40
do they see gold as a role in
2:43
the financial system ? And
2:45
we look back to what the
2:47
International Monetary Fund , or IMF
2:49
, had instated in 2019
2:52
, which was that gold was
2:54
a tier one asset
2:56
.
2:57
So isn't it the only tier one asset
2:59
, as ?
3:00
far as I'm aware , it is currently the only
3:02
registered tier one asset for
3:05
the world banking system and for the central banks
3:07
. So you know , there's probably a reason
3:09
why it is that they did that , why it's included
3:12
in the portfolios for
3:14
all these central banks across the world , sure
3:16
, and also maybe why they've been
3:19
buying in large
3:21
amounts consecutively for the past three
3:23
years and it's not just institutions
3:25
that leverage precious metals to
3:27
preserve their
3:29
wealth .
3:30
I mean the wealthiest families and
3:32
individuals historically have
3:34
held 10 to 20%
3:37
of their assets just in physical
3:39
gold and silver .
3:40
Sure , they may not write that down on paper , but I
3:42
suspect that that's the more likely .
3:44
I'm sure a lot of them actually do you think so . I
3:46
mean if they're above board , right
3:48
?
3:50
Well , that's questionable . But you
3:52
know , when we think about investing into anything
3:54
, there's always that assumption
3:56
of risk , and even with precious
3:58
metals there is risks that are involved
4:00
. So if I'm a
4:02
newbie coming into the precious metals
4:05
market , what what risks do I need
4:07
to be made aware of ? That could
4:09
happen with my money or my purchase
4:11
power that I just shifted into those precious metals
4:13
.
4:14
I mean , the number one thing we always try to explain
4:16
to people as they're just getting into
4:19
it is this is not a get
4:21
rich quick scheme . That
4:23
does not happen in this realm . And
4:25
if you have managed to do that with physical
4:28
gold and silver , not paper contracts
4:30
, then kudos to you , because
4:32
it is a challenge . Yes , the
4:36
reality is , of
4:38
course , everything goes up and down , so
4:41
you need to be able to
4:43
take that investment
4:46
and tuck it away , and we've
4:48
set it before , essentially set it and forget
4:50
it , right , and
4:52
it's always there as a let's
4:55
just say , like a backup or a savings account
4:57
so you can liquidate it if you need to . But
5:00
that's not the ultimate goal . Right Is that this is
5:02
your preservation over a period of time . So
5:05
that risk can be if I buy , let's
5:08
say , if I only have $10,000 and
5:10
I bought it all today at a spot
5:13
price of $23.15
5:15
an ounce that you're locked in . You got a cost
5:17
basis . That's how we know where I am , right , right
5:19
, and I paid a premium over that . Let's just say a
5:21
dollar . So now I'm in at $24.15
5:25
. But let's say a year
5:27
from now , spot price is pretty similar
5:29
and I want to get out of it , right
5:31
? Well , I'm going to get less than what
5:33
I paid , because everybody
5:36
needs their margin , sure , right , so
5:39
you have to account for what a spread would be
5:41
. Okay . So you need to be able to cover
5:43
your premium . And
5:45
now that spot price needs to rise
5:47
to equal your cost
5:49
in that premium , right ? So
5:52
if you're able to get spread that's what you're trying to manage
5:54
when you're moving in and out Okay , you
5:56
have to be able to cover that . So if silver
5:59
drops down a dollar or $2 or
6:01
, like we've seen some people , silver
6:03
eagles , they were buying them
6:05
$34 , $37
6:07
and now they're averaging in around
6:09
$28 .
6:10
Right , so when they come to sell , they're
6:12
getting even less Right . That's a huge
6:15
difference . So those people who are buying at top
6:17
of market with that largest premium
6:19
, they lost what that's
6:21
probably substantial $16
6:24
to $18 in premium .
6:26
I mean those are probably getting in at absolute
6:28
highs . Yeah , and that's a big loss
6:31
. I mean , look at like the 2011
6:33
, 2012 time where people were paying over $42
6:36
to $45 for silver eagle
6:38
Right , and just
6:40
less than a year later in fact , I think it was only a few months
6:42
later prices absolutely collapsed
6:44
on it .
6:45
Right , but to me it's
6:47
almost as if the more premium
6:49
is put on the precious metal that you're purchasing
6:51
, the more risk you're exposing yourself
6:53
to , at least in the short-term market situation
6:56
. And we're not trying to knock on eagles
6:58
either , because those have their own specific
7:00
benefits that we'll get to later in the show . Right
7:03
. But if you get in
7:05
and you're at a high premium and let's
7:07
say that the market doesn't quite perform to
7:09
where you were hoping it would be , some
7:12
type of liquidity crisis comes up in
7:14
your personal life and
7:16
you need to get out of this position . You're
7:19
going to be biting it , basically
7:21
, and that
7:23
is really an uncomfortable situation and
7:26
it would obviously put a large distaste in
7:28
your mouth from investing in those
7:30
precious metals .
7:32
And I just I want to say keep in mind , we're
7:34
not trying to scare people with this . This
7:36
is a worst case scenario that's happened over the last
7:38
decade . Plus , if you
7:40
take specific steps to
7:43
mitigate that type of risk , you
7:46
can be very successful with investing and
7:48
holding physical metals .
7:50
That's what we want to get to with this is , how
7:53
do we avoid situations like that
7:55
particular one and actually
7:57
achieve goals with what it is that we're
7:59
trying to do here ? Awesome , well
8:02
, I think that , because
8:04
we discussed kind of some of these risks here , it's
8:06
important to also discuss what the benefits may
8:09
be , and I think that purchase
8:11
power and preservation of purchase power
8:13
is a huge benefit .
8:15
Well , it's definitely .
8:16
Right , we used that example . I
8:18
think we might have even said it on a previous episode . Here you
8:21
have a $20 gold piece and a $20
8:23
bill in your pocket . This is back in the 1920s
8:27
. Either one of them would have got you that dapper suit at
8:29
the nicest tailor in town . But
8:31
if you had paid with the $20 bill and
8:33
kept that gold $20
8:37
piece , you'd still be able , with that
8:39
purchasing power , to get the nicest
8:41
suit , probably at the nicest shop .
8:43
I would say a decent .
8:45
At least a decent today standard . Absolutely Okay
8:48
. We're not talking Gucci , right ? We're not talking Armani .
8:50
If you were to have held the $20 bill and the $20
8:53
gold coin in your safe back in 1920
8:55
, you'd take it out today $20, . You're lucky
8:57
if you can get a meal at McDonald's . That
8:59
gold coin should get you into a good looking suit , absolutely
9:02
.
9:03
I think that that's kind of the example , the vice
9:05
versa right . If you had kept the $20 bill in your
9:07
pocket and you tried to spend that $20 bill
9:09
today , you're lucky to get out of it with
9:11
lunch right . That's
9:14
kind of the diminishing that we see here with
9:16
fiat currency versus the gold
9:18
, but at the same time that gold
9:20
has maintained its purchasing power even
9:22
through the deterioration of fiat
9:24
currency .
9:25
Right . So that's an assumption
9:27
in accurate numbers , but I know
9:29
in the past we had done it where something
9:31
like 97% of your purchasing power
9:33
has been lost since like 1913
9:36
.
9:36
Yeah , I mean , I've heard quite a few numbers . The most recent
9:39
one that I heard was actually even more aggressive
9:41
, but it was something to the tune of 99.85%
9:44
of purchasing power . It was extreme
9:46
. But even if that
9:48
isn't the case right and obviously there's
9:50
different metrics that go into saying how
9:52
it is that it's been reduced and its purchasing
9:55
power it is evident that it has
9:57
happened and has happened dramatically . It
9:59
seems to be on the last legs of
10:02
purchasing power . Thank you , Joe Biden . Right
10:06
, or is it
10:08
administration or those that are at
10:12
the wheel ?
10:13
for this financial system . We know the whole situation
10:15
is not just on the president , but it's
10:17
a culmination of many years
10:19
of intentional decisions
10:21
, absolutely .
10:23
And obviously , with
10:25
all the things that we go through , change
10:27
seems to be imminent . So I
10:29
hope that we can be prepared
10:32
for when that change comes . And
10:34
how do we best prepare ? Exactly , how do we
10:36
best prepare ? So if I'm a newbie
10:39
and I'm coming into precious metals , obviously
10:41
there's a gamut of different products to pick
10:43
from , but I want to avoid
10:45
those risks that we talked about , so I
10:48
want to get into a lower premium product
10:50
. Does that sound about right ?
10:53
Well , I think it's case by case
10:55
, okay , as you need to understand
10:57
what that individual is
10:59
being motivated by , okay . So
11:01
, for instance , for us , we have everybody from
11:04
teenagers in high school
11:06
to retirees that
11:09
are scared , right
11:11
. So , for each stage of life
11:13
, each situation , each budget , it's different
11:15
, right . So if we were to say just
11:17
kind of a general broad spectrum
11:20
, low premium is
11:22
a , in my opinion , the
11:25
foundation of any precious metal
11:27
investor , okay , or
11:29
collector , or stacker , however you want to look at it , okay
11:31
. So by getting that lower premium
11:33
stuff or product and you do that
11:36
over a period of time where your cost averaging
11:38
your buy-in , you really
11:40
set yourself up for a little bit more of a diversity
11:42
within your portfolio , okay
11:45
, so you can move in and out , hopefully
11:47
at a better price point .
11:48
Now it's interesting , you use the term dollar cost
11:51
averaging . So in order to
11:53
maintain dollar cost averaging in this
11:55
game , you're consistently
11:57
buying as the market shifts
11:59
up and down , to make
12:01
sure that your spread
12:03
is equal to the market fluctuations
12:06
, right .
12:07
So that kind of goes back to what we were saying a moment ago , where
12:09
you don't want to spend your entire investment
12:11
on one product at one price , right
12:13
? Right , so you're
12:15
being able to buy at $23 today
12:17
and next week it's $22.50
12:20
. And you catch a dip the week after and you hit $22
12:23
. And then the week after you're up at $25 , right
12:25
. So yeah , your numbers are up and down , up
12:27
and down , but your average
12:29
is what you should be concerned with .
12:30
Okay .
12:31
So let's say you've acquired a thousand ounces and
12:33
you managed to get into that at an average of $23
12:36
. Over time you can sell a little
12:38
and not feel as bad or lose
12:40
as much , sure , and you can
12:42
continue adding to that and hopefully
12:44
continuing with the market to
12:47
get that better cost average .
12:49
Now let's say that I think
12:51
that this is a really important thing and I'm
12:53
going to go after it full throttle . Should
12:57
I be spending a car payment every week
12:59
, if maybe I have trouble making
13:01
that car payment ?
13:03
And that's not right . I'd be of the opinion no
13:06
, okay , right . So
13:08
for real newbies , kind
13:10
of a rule of thumb we like to tell them is if
13:13
you can't afford to make your purchase three
13:15
times over today , you shouldn't
13:17
do it I see .
13:19
So basically , make your purchase , but make
13:21
your purchase a portion of
13:24
your comfort money , of
13:26
your disposable , your disposable income
13:28
.
13:28
So you should always be able to take care of any obligations
13:30
you have to your home , your family . Your bills
13:32
Okay , Priority one Okay . Then
13:36
you take your extra , you're spending money , your savings account , whatever else you're
13:38
doing with it . You know , if
13:40
you were a smoker buying 10 packs a week , well , cut
13:43
that down .
13:43
But a smoker can go buy some silver .
13:45
Okay , absolutely , that can add up to quite a bit
13:47
, right ? So you're saving in multiple ways , but
13:51
by moving forward with that
13:53
you're able to .
13:55
Well , I think I felt what you were going with here
13:57
. So , basically , if you were consistently
13:59
doing that and you had that cushion money , you're
14:02
avoiding like , in my
14:04
opinion , one of the most consistent
14:06
things that happened for a new investor , and
14:08
that's where you've over leveraged your position
14:11
into precious metal and you kind of
14:13
restricted your cash flow . That's exactly where I was headed
14:15
. And then what happens is a boiling point
14:17
. It's that one off , oh crap , I need
14:19
a new set of tires or breaks
14:21
need to be changed , and your whole economic
14:23
game is kind of shifted . And
14:26
then you're put into a position where you're
14:28
saying to yourself where am I going to get the money
14:30
? Then you look to your stack to liquidate
14:32
, right .
14:34
So that's what we were saying with the three times over is
14:36
I don't want to have you come in today all excited
14:38
, make your purchase , right , you're
14:40
going to get back next week and you're going to hate me because
14:43
you're not getting your money back . Right , you're
14:45
most likely going to take a loss .
14:47
It becomes discouraging , right , and
14:49
if you're actually setting out to do this with
14:52
goals in mind , it's important to manage how
14:54
it is you're going to approach it with your spend . Right
14:57
, absolutely , and
14:59
really to frame that out , we got to have goals
15:01
, and that differs for everybody
15:03
. So let's
15:05
talk about a couple of those positions , because there's
15:07
all different types of
15:09
stackers or bullion collectors
15:12
out there . Some
15:14
of the more common ones that I see are
15:16
those that have built precious
15:18
metals purchasing into their
15:20
standard financial behavior . Right
15:23
, so they're doing this either on a monthly
15:25
basis or a quarterly basis . They're
15:28
taking an allocated portion of their disposable
15:30
income and they're putting it into the precious
15:33
metals consistently and
15:35
repeatedly in order to build .
15:36
And if you haven't seen episode six , we
15:38
talk with someone just like that . That's our friend Brian
15:41
, Absolutely Definitely . Go and check that
15:43
episode out .
15:44
And then the kind of ultimate benefit there
15:46
is that once you have gotten
15:48
to a certain level which everybody
15:51
sets their goals different and it might be to how
15:53
your lifestyle may be
15:55
, that would dictate how much you actually
15:57
want but you can get to the point
16:00
where you are your own bank , Certainly
16:02
, and liquidating in and out of that stack
16:04
.
16:04
Government over time , making that a regular habit
16:06
. Yep , and the goal is , by
16:09
using metals specifically , you're
16:12
creating the savings account that you can't just make
16:14
a transfer Right . I can't hop on my phone . Okay , I
16:16
need to move a hundred bucks for my savings account . No
16:18
, it's more difficult . You got to go down to a shop
16:20
or somewhere else actually sell the
16:22
piece Right , it takes time , effort
16:24
, it's not convenient to get out of it Right
16:27
Per se , comparatively to , you know , transferring
16:29
money between accounts . So it's definitely
16:31
that
16:34
extra little layer that slows
16:36
you down from using
16:38
that first , absolutely .
16:40
If you're , my opinion is fantastic , because I'm really bad about transferring
16:42
money between accounts like no big deal , no big deal
16:44
right , yeah , but if you have
16:46
that labor of doing so , you
16:48
end up thinking twice about what it is that you're
16:50
doing financially and if you can
16:52
keep yourself on track . That benefit of becoming
16:55
your own bank can be used in so many different
16:57
ways to help yourself out and any family
16:59
member or any situation that may come your way
17:01
. But
17:03
what happens if , let's
17:06
say , I Don't know
17:08
, I wanted to spend Enough
17:11
to get myself 10 ounces of gold
17:13
and I wanted to do that in
17:16
a low premium situation , like we talked
17:18
about right , reducing my risk and
17:21
Then I wanted to
17:23
be able to get out of all that gold
17:25
all at once . In
17:28
order to get that low premium stuff , I might
17:30
have gotten up some generic
17:32
or maybe some sovereign
17:34
bullion that might have been issued from other countries
17:37
. When I go to cash out
17:39
, what things do I
17:41
need to be aware of ?
17:43
So it differs for different parts of the world
17:45
, but for here in the United States
17:48
, if you were to have been
17:50
purchasing American gold Eagles or
17:52
gold buffalos , mm-hmm , you can pretty much
17:54
buy and sell , trade as many of those as you'd
17:56
like Okay , with no additional
17:59
Factors to really consider
18:01
. Okay . But if you come to us
18:03
and you say , look , I've got 11 ounces
18:05
of Krugerans , okay
18:07
, well , now we've fallen into a reporting
18:10
obligation Because we've
18:12
crossed over the threshold of how many
18:14
ounces you can sell that are non American
18:17
okay so that aren't issued by the US
18:19
government . Okay , and because of
18:21
that , in my eyes , the
18:23
the government wants their piece , right ?
18:25
Right . So there's , that's a document
18:27
, correct . That's a document that's right , available
18:30
to the IRS or for any
18:32
that correct the IRS .
18:34
So the purchase gets documented and
18:36
shops like us have to send that in , okay , and
18:38
then you're obligated to report any potential
18:40
gains or losses on your own personal taxes
18:42
. Why , shops and buyers are
18:44
not obligated , but , okay , those that are selling
18:47
in that scenario . So you
18:49
could have purchased those , let's
18:51
say , krugerans at $1,500
18:54
now , but you're selling to me at 2,000 now's . You
18:56
have a $500 per ounce gain . Now
19:00
you're on the hook . Oh , right , so now you're
19:02
gonna have to pay your taxes on the long-term gains . Again
19:05
, we're not accountants , we're not advisors . Take
19:07
it with a grain of salt but that's our understanding . So
19:10
if that's not a scenario you'd like to be in
19:12
, you got to be more strategic with what you're purchasing
19:15
, how you sell it Mm-hmm , and understand
19:17
those factors before you start actually
19:19
getting your hands on it .
19:21
Okay , so that that's important to me now . So
19:24
some people may not want to liquidate
19:27
10 ounces at one time , right . But if
19:29
other people are looking to do that threshold
19:31
or to move that quantity at one time
19:33
as a part of their purchase and
19:35
exit plan , having that consideration
19:38
is important . So that might be
19:40
where the benefit
19:42
of a Sovereign
19:44
, us issued bullion is
19:47
going to come into play for those people . Now
19:49
that's important to note because Typically
19:52
in that scenario , you'll be dealing with a higher
19:54
premium product . Right
19:56
, then you would be dealing with you and Buffalo's
19:58
definitely have a bit
20:00
higher premium at your buy-in Then
20:03
, compared to Krugerans , britannia's
20:05
maple leaves and non us pieces
20:07
.
20:08
Okay , and I look again , that's you're
20:10
backed by the US government , which is supposed to be one
20:12
of the strongest economies in the world , and they're
20:15
kind of building in their piece of the pie
20:17
up front . Okay , so they're
20:19
getting theirs , whether it's a US
20:21
issue or they always get there as we know
20:23
that , we know that , but they get theirs up
20:26
front , essentially .
20:27
Well , that's so . That's really crucial to me . So
20:29
if you have kind of those motivations
20:31
, you need to be evaluating that when you're
20:33
going in for those purchases . And
20:36
Even though premium can be viewed
20:38
as risk , you may have a
20:41
better benefit sitting with you in the slightly
20:43
higher premium product than that
20:45
of the lowest premium on the shelf Exactly
20:47
, and that's why it comes down to when you're
20:49
getting into this .
20:50
You really need to have a firm understanding of what
20:52
your personal long-term goals
20:54
are . Are you passing this down to the
20:56
family ? Are you never going to touch this again
20:58
? Are you holding for five years and then
21:00
you plan to have some type of liquidation
21:03
, for whatever reason ? Have an idea
21:05
ahead of time so that you can place yourself
21:07
within a strategy that fits your
21:09
goal .
21:11
There's many different types of goals out there . We have
21:13
a preperomantality goals right , where
21:15
they want liquidity for a broken-down
21:17
economy . Even
21:19
that needs some consideration for premiums
21:22
right . Getting into fractional pieces
21:24
both in the silver and in
21:26
the gold end can lead to higher premiums
21:28
, but they also offer better
21:31
liquidity in a bartered
21:33
situation .
21:34
So , even within the preperomantality
21:37
, there are different
21:39
strategies as well . Right , because there
21:41
are people that are fearful that
21:43
our economy will collapse
21:45
and something will rebuild and
21:48
whatever's . On the other end , the way
21:50
that they will transition their wealth and purchasing
21:52
power will be through a tool such
21:54
as gold and silver . So
21:56
if we have a revaluation
21:59
, whatever that is , it's the idea
22:01
that that will transition them to be
22:03
better . On the other end , right . Then
22:05
there's always the zombie
22:07
apocalypse mentality right . So
22:10
when it all breaks down , collapse where you
22:12
need to have something recognizable
22:14
and something
22:17
that's barterable , right ? So it's not usually
22:19
going to be a one-ounce piece for gold
22:21
, it'll be fractional sizes
22:23
that are something that most population
22:25
knows , or a lot of one-tenth
22:28
gold , eagles , that type of thing . Right and
22:30
same . When you hop over to the silver aspect
22:32
, so constitutional coinage which , if
22:34
you're not familiar , 1964 and earlier
22:37
the United States was using 90% silver
22:39
in their coinage . So quarters
22:41
, half dollars , dimes
22:43
and dollars
22:46
.
22:46
I guess Right dollars will obviously the peace
22:48
dollar and back .
22:49
Right . So , there's
22:51
a lot of different strategies within
22:53
that as well , and
22:55
whatever your personal goals are , again just
22:58
make sure you're aligning with that ahead of time , so that
23:00
way you're not investing over here when
23:02
you should be going off over here .
23:04
And I always like to help those
23:06
customers who may be preparing
23:08
for something similar to that and trying
23:11
to accommodate their wishes . But let
23:13
them know that really it only makes sense to
23:15
a certain point and then , after you
23:17
have that amount of liquidity that you desire
23:19
, looking into more
23:22
larger pieces with lower premium is
23:24
probably to their advantage ?
23:26
Well , I think that's I mean , like all
23:28
things , like why we're even talking about investing
23:30
within metals is you need
23:32
to diversify , right ? So having
23:34
all of your purchases only on fractional
23:37
stuff , I mean there's
23:39
a limit . At some point . You need to move on
23:41
to the bigger pieces . You need to be smart with how
23:43
you're spending your money and investing your money Absolutely
23:45
, and that's not always going to be on the small stuff . Now
23:48
it's interesting you say that .
23:49
I think there's one other piece
23:51
that we need to consider here too . Well , which
23:53
metal do I choose , and which
23:55
one does what right , or which one
23:57
has that potential benefit that
23:59
the other may not carry , and why
24:01
would one be desirable in one situation
24:03
compared to the other ?
24:06
Again , it comes down to personal
24:08
belief , right , right . So
24:11
a lot of people , you can
24:13
tell them a million and one things and share your opinion
24:15
and the data that you've found , and everyone's
24:17
going to form their own opinion . That's just the
24:19
case , of course . So some people are
24:22
of the mindset that silver has the
24:24
higher potential return , that
24:27
you're looking at that as
24:29
more of an investment because
24:31
silver , in the
24:33
eyes of some , is highly suppressed and
24:36
you have more opportunity
24:38
for growth on the silver side , okay Whereas
24:41
gold is often viewed as a preservation
24:44
. So it's kind of like that , you
24:46
know , tortoise versus the hare , okay got
24:48
you Tortoise that just kind of started moving along
24:50
right , okay . So even though we do see pretty
24:52
good size spikes up and down on gold
24:55
over time , it's been kind of
24:57
the consistent performer , okay so
24:59
. Preservation versus investment
25:01
with potential return .
25:03
That makes a lot of sense . I know
25:05
that we encounter quite a few
25:07
people that look
25:10
to value maybe silver over gold
25:12
and they leverage the ratio
25:15
, stating that in the timeline
25:17
of 3000 plus years of monetary
25:19
use , gold to silver , silver
25:22
was traditionally 15 to
25:24
one as a mean statistically
25:26
. Now here we are in
25:28
today's market and we're trading at
25:31
80 plus to
25:33
one , which is a dramatic difference
25:35
. So the thought is that if
25:37
it ever got back to its natural ratio , the
25:39
price point of gold were stagnant
25:42
is that silver would have to 6x .
25:45
What did you say to ?
25:46
that .
25:48
Honestly , I never see that coming back . Okay
25:51
, I think that the change in the
25:53
landscape of the financial world with
25:56
paper contracts and fractional lending
25:58
and potential manipulation
26:01
excuse me , potential
26:03
manipulation that
26:05
we'll never see that type of ratio
26:07
again .
26:07
Okay , that's disheartening . I
26:10
know that a lot of people are hoping I'm probably
26:12
going to upset a lot of people .
26:13
Please let me know in the comments .
26:15
Well , I obviously have a hopeful
26:17
mind frame . I'm coming from the perspective
26:20
of it's all going to reset
26:22
and everything goes back to the way it should
26:24
be . That's the uber-optimist
26:27
point of view . If that were to happen
26:29
, I feel like both gold and
26:31
silver would benefit . Here
26:33
we are on the brink of a financial crisis
26:35
. Let's say gold gets revalued
26:37
. Let's say the commodities exchange stops
26:40
having the ability to dictate
26:43
the world average price of silver . If
26:46
we saw a natural migration , I think
26:48
that both would just do phenomenal
26:51
compared to our fiat dollar .
26:53
So put a potential
26:55
number on it for
26:57
silver . Let's just go with silver on
27:00
this one .
27:01
All right , I'm going to shoot from 50 . No
27:04
, I think we can do better than that . 75 . I
27:07
think we can go better . 100 . I
27:10
honestly think that it would be somewhere over
27:12
100 bucks . I'm thinking 110
27:14
is what sticks out in my mind .
27:17
I would honestly hate to live
27:19
in a world that's silver's trading at
27:21
$110 an ounce .
27:23
Why . Because what's a loaf of bread gun
27:25
cost oh
27:27
man , you're right
27:29
, because all of these values
27:31
are relative to the purchasing
27:34
power of the US dollar
27:36
. That's a great point , one
27:39
that you should thoroughly consider .
27:42
So , as you can see , multiple opinions
27:44
, everybody has their own .
27:47
So with this obviously , guys , this
27:49
is really important stuff you
27:51
need to walk in with a solid plan of what
27:53
you're doing and asking the question
27:55
of what is the exit , starting
27:58
with knowing how you wanna get out of it , or what
28:00
is the purpose of your mission
28:02
to incorporate investment into
28:04
precious metals ? Having
28:06
that framed is gonna help guide you to
28:08
making better decisions on
28:11
what it is that you purchase , when and
28:13
in what quantities . If
28:17
you can frame that out and you can
28:19
be diligent and disciplined
28:21
to stick with your plan , the
28:24
liberation that comes .
28:26
Oh , the freedom is amazing .
28:27
The freedom is amazing , right
28:29
, but if you get tripped up , refer
28:33
back to those things that we may have said . What
28:36
were you put into one of those situations
28:38
? Because maybe you weren't aware
28:40
of that potential problem
28:42
or consideration that you needed
28:45
to have when getting out of it . These
28:49
things can help save you
28:51
a lot of money . These things can
28:53
help keep you motivated to
28:56
stay in the game and to watch yourself
28:58
build your personal wealth , for yourself
29:00
, for your family and , if it's aggressively
29:03
, generational wealth . So
29:06
many benefits , so many pitfalls
29:09
. You gotta make sure that
29:11
you're stepping carefully . So please
29:13
make sure that you consider those things , those risks
29:15
that we've discussed .
29:17
And I think just one other I
29:20
guess tip we could say for that is we
29:23
have those customers that come in weekly
29:25
, monthly , and a lot of it is
29:28
just having a honest conversation
29:30
about what we see happening in the landscape , what
29:33
kind of budgets they have , why
29:35
they're motivated to do it . So
29:37
find that group of people or that
29:39
local coin shop dealer or
29:42
bullion dealer that can help you
29:44
and challenge your thought process
29:47
Right . So yeah
29:49
, they might get under your skin because they have a different opinion . They'll
29:52
get thicker skin because the conversation is worth
29:54
it right . Absolutely Having
29:56
multiple perspectives and understanding
29:58
of geopolitical
30:01
, financial , historical , current
30:03
market trends , premiums , all
30:06
of those things . The more
30:08
you know , the more power you have and
30:10
the better decisions you can make for yourself .
30:12
Yeah , absolutely . I agree with that 100%
30:14
and truthfully , when you take
30:17
these steps to make that plan and you start practicing
30:20
it , you're helping yourself avoid
30:22
one of the largest difficulties when
30:24
it comes to precious metals investing , and that is
30:26
the emotional turbulence
30:29
that comes with watching
30:31
the markets when you've leveraged
30:33
your personal wealth into these
30:35
commodities , because
30:39
that , honestly , can be one of the most
30:41
stressful scenarios and
30:43
has discouraged a lot of people from staying
30:45
in the game because of that emotional
30:47
up and down when the markets swing
30:49
. But if you have a solid strategy
30:52
and you're sticking to it , you've prepared for
30:54
that mentally and you're gonna be a lot more confident
30:57
in those purchases as you continue
30:59
to go along . So stay
31:01
less emotional , more methodical
31:03
.
31:04
do this with a purpose and you'll be
31:06
able to achieve that
31:08
liberty , that ultimate benefit
31:11
that comes with stacking precious metals
31:13
.
31:14
With that , I guess we should probably let
31:16
people know where to find
31:18
us . Where
31:21
to locate us , tyler
31:23
? Where can they find us ?
31:25
I'm just giving you an awkward pause for a moment . I
31:27
know well I'm used to that
31:29
. Yeah , so we
31:31
are currently revamping our website
31:33
, wwwahcoincocom
31:37
. That should be live in
31:40
the next few weeks . You'll be able to
31:42
have all kinds of inventory
31:44
options there for you , so we're excited for that . So keep
31:46
an eye out . You're very excited .
31:48
We're working hard on that , by the way . Yeah , you're doing
31:50
a great job , a labor of love .
31:53
So we're also Facebook Instagram at
31:55
Numosphere and our
31:58
cameras just turned off . That's
32:00
unfortunate . So now you just get to
32:02
listen to our audio . But with that , yeah
32:04
, thanks for listening in again . Tune
32:07
in for the next episode .
32:08
Yeah , as the Numosphere turns . All
32:12
right , you guys have a great one . We'll see you then .
