Hi All,
I'm looking to get some precious metals and would like some advice.
My main interest is Gold, because ever since I saw the movie Goldfinger as a kid I've wanted to have a small amount of Gold of my own. However I know there is also Platinum to consider along with Silver. Is it best to diversify or concentrate on one metal? Obviously Silver is a lot lower cost per unit than Gold or Platinum.
My intention is to collect an amount as a long term investment (I plan to retire in about 25 years). With that in mind:
1. Are 1oz bars the optimal size to collect? I have read some say spread and have less larger bars of the cheaper metals, and more smaller bars of the more expensive.
2. Storage. Do you store at home? At home in a safe? Safe deposit box?
Finally, where is the best place to buy? It appears buying from reputable retailers like Apmex via Ebay is cheaper both on unit price and free shipping, is that safe?
Thank you.
