The last place I would ever buy gold from is a place that advertises on fox.......I don’t care how irrelevant the actor on the commercial is.
You can literally buy precious metals online, near-spot pricing.
These goldbug companies are there to grab as much wealth from those least able to afford it as possible. The TX Board of Securities even admits they’re next-to-impossible to police because of the opaqueness of their industry and the lack of regulatory framework in the state for them.
They grab bullion from actual mints, recast and put their labels on ‘em, and charge well above market rates for the gold. You have to be a poorly informed person to “invest” in them.
