Increased Awareness

Recently, i read many threads and forums in PinoyMoney Talk on the subject of Metals Investing. There were responders, newbies and those who have acted on the pressing need to own metal.

There were sites also recommended by Pinoys abroad like GoldMoney (I use this), BullionVault, Gold Seek and yes, even Ebay for sources of having the metals. We are not endorsing any of these sites, but please, for your own protection, please check the integrity and the safety of your metals before indulging the services of any of these vendors. You might want to take a look at if it is Insured and constantly being audited, also ease of use and the ability of a vendor to cater to the smallest investor is also a big bonus.

There were others in that forum that even went as far as recommending ETFs,which in my opinion is very dangerous since the fund in itself is not reliable. Others have went to numismatics as a hedge for the coming economic storm. Whatever you take, the road is wide, as long as you know what you are doing.

Of significance is the advice to hold the metals in your own keeping--I think that this would be one of the greatest sources of confidence in trying times. One can start owning the 'popcorn' form from the mines and eventually when there is a budget to turn them into bars then this can be done at a reasonable costs. (we can help you with this)

I am glad that many Pinoys are beginning to understand the advocacy that we are having in educating the masses regarding this very urgent and pressing matter.

There is another Pinoy with an educational site regarding investing in the metals and this is his site.

Be Well!
