Hello Cameron,

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective on economics! You’ve made some excellent points about the fundamental nature of money and economic principles.

We completely agree that ‘Economics in One Lesson’ is an outstanding resource for understanding these concepts. In fact, we’re so passionate about financial education that we’d be happy to include a complimentary copy with any precious metals order. We believe informed investors make better decisions, and this book is a fantastic starting point.

Have a great day,
Johnny Estes
Vice President

Money is merely an asset which facilitates the exchange of goods and services. Nothing more, and nothing less. A token. Why is that so difficult for he and his like to understand?

The more the tokens, the less they are worth in the exchange, OBVIOUSLY. Wealth is not a pizza. Everyone on the planet could be rich, and equally, everyone on the planet could be poor.

Economics exists with or without currency. Economics is everything, in every corner of the planet and involving every species on the planet. All species produce, exchange symbiotically, and on the other hand they can be parasitic and destructive. It really isn’t rocket science, despite imbeciles like Krugman endlessly tying themselves in knots in an attempt to make it so. Get yourself a copy of ‘Economics in One Lesson’. Have an easy, relaxing read, and within two hours, you will understand a relatively simple subject.

Hello James,

Thank you for your question. While we’re not financial brokers and cannot offer specific advice, it’s generally considered prudent to allocate around 20 to 25 percent of your portfolio to tangible assets like gold and silver. Personally, I’ve chosen to invest a bit more heavily in these metals due to my belief in their value.

If you’d like personalized guidance, I recommend contacting one of our non-commissioned brokers. They can provide expert assistance on determining the right metals for you when the time is appropriate.

Best regards, Johnny

These are important questions. While I can’t say for certain, it likely relates to Costco’s liability considerations. Given the number of employees and the security protocols at each location, Costco probably prioritizes minimizing risk.

As a precious metal dealer, we prioritize security with stringent measures ensuring minimal handling of metals.

If you’re interested in purchasing the same product, please contact us directly. We offer discreet shipping with insurance coverage until delivery confirmation. Our typical minimum order for gold is 3 ounces.
