    The one thing people don't understand about these coins is that they are money, real money. So you are not so much buying them as exchanging one form of money to an other.
    Yes, Gold Krugerrand. They were sure pretty!

    I use a box I purchased on Amazon for my coins and rounds: Robot Check

    For the bars I simply use a plastic box I have.

    Don't need to do anything special for stacking because the metal has the same value no matter what condition it is in. But I try to keep my bars, coins and rounds in perfect condition

    Looks like you invested in single stocks with a #### broker. Dont let that taint you from Mutual or Index funds through Fidelity or Vanguard. Single stocks are risky as hell. Im with you about the coins being cool and pretty to look at but shiny things are just that...Fun to look at, not investments. Investments should be boring and steady. Good luck!!! I do enjoy your videos

    After the next big market correction I will probably try to find a better stock broker and get a SPY ETF. Right now the market is at the top so it's a terrible time to buy stocks. If you look at what Ray Dalio did in november, there is a very good chance the market will crash in march. So opportunities might arise afterwards.

    I am 3 weeks away from starting in real estate investing... I just can't wait LOL

    Thanks for watching. I have been working hard to learn youtube skills. My videos should start to look much better with each one I do. So much stuff to learn, I had no idea

    Precious metals are more of a savings account, not a real investment. The goal is not to make money with them, although you can if you buy and sell at the right time in the market cycles. The main reason is to use them as an edge against inflation and protection against black swan events.

    The other thing is that it's fun. So you can look at it as a bank account that is also a hobby.

    Warren Buffet also tried to purchase a lot of silver and was forced to sell it. I am not sure how that works but what I know is that the silver market is very small compared to everything else. So if a major player like buffet decided to buy a lot of silver, prices could very easily explode upwards. That would be great for investors but terrible for companies that use silver for manufacturing.

    There are several lawsuits against people manipulating the market right now. My guess is, once that stops, prices will correct themselves upward.
