Seems like a lot of guys have been pitching the same thing for many decades. Conservatives and patriot mouth pieces in radio in particular always seem to get sponsors who are selling gold and precious metals, and it’s a little hard not to get numb to the message after a while, but I’m not personally familiar with it, and I’ve always been skeptical, particularly when you are buying gold that you are not physically taking possession of. I mean, how does that help you when TSHTF. Are you going to travel halfway across the country or the world and walk up to an vault and just collect your gold? Why in the world would you ever expect to be able to find or contact these people when all the banks have gone bankrupt a many businesses got shuttered and the government starts freezing assets and accounts?

I just don’t know how all this stuff work and I’m curious. Is birch gold group too big to fail? Is Ron Paul going to bring you your gold personally when they file for bankruptcy or run off to Switzerland with your investments?

if you are investing in anything than the actual precious metals, like gold coins or bars... it is worse than the fiat currency.

like bit coin

Phil Godlewski sells over priced silver through philsilver.com just like every other PM dealer including Kitco. Its not against the law. He practices what he preaches as all his assets are tied up in silver and real estate. He is preparing to take the utmost advantage of the coming new monetary system.

Mr. GG2 and I have all of our assets in real estate and PM because we are positioning ourselves for the coming gold backed currency Trump has been announcing. Nesara/Gesara or whatever you want to call it is on the horizon. We got out of the stock market 2 years ago.

I would be more worried about people who have all their assets tied up in the stock market not silver, gold or real estate.

Phil Godlewski is a truther. He is an anon and a die hard MAGA Trump supporter. He’s incredibly open about it so I don’t think he’s fooling anybody. You’re either on board with it or you’re still hypnotized by Fox Snooze. Which is worse?

Some people I know and love have fallen under the influence of a guy named Phil Godlewski.

Well, I can say with certainty that I ain't one of them since I've never heard of him.

Does he drive a Good Humor Ice cream truck? If so, then I can understand why someone would become addicted to ice cream and the vendor.

National Economic Security and Recovery Act (NESARA), a set of U.S. economic reforms proposed in the 1990s, which included abolishing compound interest on loans, replacing income tax with a national sales tax and returning U.S. currency to the gold standard. The proposals were never actually introduced before Congress.

The only way I would recommend that someone dabble in paper gold is if they have a self directed Roth IRA and low transaction fees. With the Roth IRA, you pay no capital gains, so you keep any profit from buying low and selling high.

Physical gold should be looked at as a store of wealth that will never go to zero worth no matter what happens in the world, not an investment in the normal sense of the word. Paper gold (Gold EFTs) is an investment. It is harder for a Gold EFT to become worthless than for a stock, but it absolutely can become worthless under the right conditions. The easiest way for it to become worthless is for the Internet to go down.
You can buy and sell paper gold much quicker than physical and with practically zero premiums, so if you are intending on making money by buying on the dips and selling on the highs, and maximizing your profits, that's the way to do it and make the most money.

Otherwise buy physical gold.

I think Gesara might be this...

S.2826 - Global Economic Security Strategy of 2019

It’s stuck in committee or maybe dead.

Buy physical gold, keep it where you can access it, and sleep like a baby.

Buy US Gold Eagles or Canadian Maple Leafs. Each is one ounce of pure gold, easily recognizable, easily converted into cash or cattle.

Never heard of him, but I have a self-directed precious metal IRA.

Had it now for 7 years.
