Most of the clients that we work with want to invest in gold and silver because they want to gain profits, but what most people do not realize is that investing is not always about making profits. If you consider when you buy a house, you are investing in your future... right? You do not intend to keep the house to make profits, you just simply want to live in it and secure the future of your family. The same applies to investments, specifically investments in precious metals. Most people are hesitant to invest a large portion of their portfolio in precious metals, since most "financial" experts recommend to invest less money into physical assets and more into paper. Didn't our mother always tell us to not always believe what we hear? Stock investments are risky, and they are most definitely not hedges against the financial insufficiency of the U.S. Government, nor a hedge against the devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. But obviously it is in the banks and financial institution's interest to encourage paper investing, that was they can trade freely, at any given amount, without any physical stock or commodity backing it, or to provide proof that anything really exists. It may not make sense to you, but it makes sense to them. Taking interest on money lent into existence, and collecting money on stocks (paper investments) which are just guarantees on paper.
