Monetary Theory and History and the Role of Gold and Silver in Investment Portfolios
Finance | Available (Membership Required)
This class will provide a foundation in the origins and history of money, which is vital to understanding the role and importance of precious metals in investment portfolios. Joe will explore ways to incorporate various precious metal investment vehicles into an investment portfolio. There are positive and negative aspects of each vehicle, including but not limited to precious metal ETFs, physical metal purchases and storage, mining stocks, and the relatively new concept of precious metals leasing. It's about more than gold and silver.
