<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 646055, member: 3011"]It would be difficult to name someone worse than Hommel as an investment advisor. Schiff is a bit better but very very self-promotional. I also expect more inflation in the future, but following self-styled gurus is the road to ruin. I would also not advise someone just starting out investing to buy coins. Instead, learn to invest in stocks [but don't learn from TV, there is nothing there to learn]. The stock market is an interesting intellectual game that isn't too difficult to win over the long run. That is where your money belongs, if you learn how to do it first. But if you must invest in coins, American Silver Eagles are probably your best bet [the uncirculated, not the proofs]. It is difficult to make a serious mistake buying them. The premium over melt value is modest, and silver has tremendous upside potential. As a kicker, someday the Mint will stop producing ASEs and they may develop more significant numismatic premiums than they have now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
