^Well there was also the fact that it had been illegal for Americans to own gold, beyond token amounts, for close to 4 decades. When the ban was...
Good move. Don't let the others trapped in the system dissuade you from making decisions for yourself. Remember two things, never take advice...
Anyone can lose money on PMs. If you thought that I've said otherwise, then it's you dear heart who have the blind spot. Since you are now...
No I don't think so as they handle retail. We are fortunate enough to have one in this city so you can use their walk in service. However they...
