EFT’s would be my suggestion.You could buy the gold trust EFT on the NYSE. Its ticker is GLD. There are 2 EFT’s for Silver listed on both the AMEX and NYSE:SLV – Ishares silver trust EFTDBS – Power shares DB silver EFT I don’t recommend the Chicago Mercantile exchange for gold and silver futures as Answer 2 is suggesting because then you have to worry about futures contract expiry dates which isn’t a problem with EFT’shttp://www.cmegroup.com/trading/metals/index.htmlYou can also visit the following for gold bars: http://www.bullionvault.com/

Gold and silver have had an amazing few years. In hindsight, there are very few people who were better off by investing in anything other than gold or silver in recent years… however looking into the future we have no hindsight. Typical returns on gold are VERY low compared to most other investments. Money in the bank is making between 0.5% and 5% (depending on the bank and the savings vehicle you use). Inflation tends to run around 3% and in 2007 was 4%. So money in the bank is approximately keeping up with inflation, so it is neither gaining nor losing value. If you have a significant amount in the bank, be sure you are earning 4%+ interest. That rate is easy to find with online banks if no local banks offer it.Depending on what this investment is for, there are many options that are likely better than gold/silver. For most people, their largest investment account is for retirement. There are great tax advantaged accounts for this: 401k, ROTH IRA. If your company offers a 401k, check it out and invest risky (stock funds) if you are young; or less risky (balanced funds/bonds) if you are older. Stock funds have averaged 10%-11% for many decades. Bond funds tend to run around 5%-7%. Being very expensive right now, gold could potentially lose alot of value soon… although no one knows the future. If you’re interested in a ROTH IRA (no immediate tax advantage, but when you take the money out it is completely tax free), check out Vanguard:https://personal.vanguard.com/us/accounttypes/retirement?Entry=Homeoffer02Read all you can about the ROTH IRA and other options. Knowledge is certainly power (and money) in this case.Vanguard has the lowest fees and is often rated as the best mutual fund company. Their “Target Retirement” accounts are great for those who want to stash their money away and never worry about it. These accounts start out riskier when you’re young and slowly become safer as you approach retirement age. Find the fund with a date near your retirement date (ie ‘Target Retirement 2040′) and open a ROTH IRA with that fund.Best of luck in your investing future!

I can’t see how that has happened. How would the gov’t know that the gold or silver was in the safe box, especially if you don’t tell them? I would think that in hard economic times, the gov’t would be more communist then they already are.

Gold and silver to invest in the Philippines. You have to consult a financial adviser or as you say a stock broker. To be safe.

You can buy gold as a stock with the ticker GLD. One share equals 1/10 ounce. For platinum it is PTM. You could buy a company that mines platinum. Impala Platinum is one. It is down about 50% from a year ago.

The US Mint sells .999 fine American Silver Eagle coins. However, they sell the current years’ coins at a hefty premium over the current spot price of silver:Silver Eagleshttp://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/american_eagles/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=american_eagle_silverIn addition to these Silver Eagle coins, there are also .999 fine silver coins and coin-like “silver rounds” issued by other countries (example: Canada’s “Silver Maple Leaf” coins), and by private issuers.To my knowledge, it would be unusual for most banks to sell these coins or rounds to their customers. You typically would need to purchase them from coin dealers, bullion dealers, or from sellers on eBay or the like. Some examples of major bullion dealers that sell these via Internet and phone sales include APMEX, Blanchard, Kitco, Monex, and the Northwest Territorial Mint; you can find the websites of these dealers by searching on their names on Yahoo, Google, Microsoft Bing, etc. You may also wish to call or visit your local coin dealer(s).Through 1964, dimes, quarters, and half dollars in general circulation were made from 90% silver, and one could freely exchange paper money for these coins at a bank window. After the silver price rose, and the US government stopped issuing 90% silver coins, from 1965-1969, the only remaining silver coins minted for circulation were Kennedy Half dollars that contained 40% silver, and again you could exchange paper money for these half dollars at banks.Over the years, all of these coins vanished from circulation, as they were increasingly hoarded. It is highly unusual to see any silver coins in circulation today, and you would draw some … interesting … looks and reactions if you were to ask for these at a bank. You can find the current ’silver melt’ values of these older silver coins at:http://www.coinflation.comIn the early 1930s, FDR issued an order requiring Americans to turn in their gold coins (with some minor exceptions), in exchange for government payments. This was independent and separate from the government’s decision to stop issuing silver coins for circulation, some 30 years later.

In the United States, and probably pretty much everywhere else in the world, you can only get paper money or coins made out of non-valuable materials. There was a time in the United States when you could demand gold or silver ($1 bills used to say on them “Redeemable in Silver”), but that was many years ago. There were also gold coins which could be obtained at face value. Silver was only withdrawn from US coinage about 30 years ago.If you want precious metals, you need to go to a dealer and pay the going rate, which changes more or less daily. You can also purchase some gold and silver coins from the US Mint, but you’ll pay a stiff surcharge for them on top of the nominal stamped value of the coin.

interesting. I wonder with all of his calls with regards to corruption, that slipped McBush’s mind
