When I started stacking, I bought 10 ounces of silver and a 1/10th ounce of gold every month. I did that for about a couple of years. After that I started focusing on things like silver dimes, quarters, etc. My initial goal was 100 ounces of silver and 3 ounces of gold. Once I reached that goal, I just buy when I have extra money. I've been building my stack for over 10 years. A couple of times I've had to sell some, because of an emergency, but I always try to replace what I've sold as soon as the emergency is over. I've found that it's the best sort of savings and doesn't lose it's purchasing power, unlike fiat. I've done very well with stocks as well, especially after 2009.

You have improved so much in terms of your delivery and confidence from the start of your videos till the latest gold video posted yesterday. Big fan of your channel and content. Always opening up YouTube to see if you have posted any new contents. Keep up the good work!

It all depends on where you live. In my country the most efficent way for me to stack gold is buying scrap jewelry. It's much cheaper than bullion we pay 10 to 20% under spot price. Yes it's karat gold but gold is gold and it's value is always in the gold not the other metals. We make the scrap into jewelry and keep the pieces that are usable. Mobile wealth one of the best forms to stack is in Rings between 5-15 grams very unassuming in times of economic collapse or hardship going to a pawn shop with a 1 ounce gold coin can catch the attention of criminals but rings not so much everyone has them.

My local bullion shop uses Sigma Metalytics PMV to test. But I will conduct a density test on the bars that I purchased as an additional check.

Rule 3: good point very few people make. Spend the SAME amount each time. You should not alter the amount much or else you could adversely effect your cost per ounce. So many youtube people miss this point. In fact they criticize me for mentioning that point. Also, rule 7, I use a bank box. The best home safe can easily be opened with a gun at your head. Also, unallocated space is not your rented property and if the bank should have financial problems, your gold could be at risk. I rent my box from the bank and the contents are my property and not the banks property. It can't be attached by the banks creditors. A fine point but a valid point. You are VERY sharp and I respect your channel MORE than others. Love your content very much. Thank you very much for your content.

I hear your warnings about DCA, but once we triple bottomed off of 1600 i turned a huge chunk of my savings in to britannias.

Excellent, I think rule number 10 is the one rule a lot of new stackers do not understand, May be the most important rule. Thanks for the video.

Holding your own gold vs private vault reduced 1 counter party risk. The question you should ask is how secure is your personal vaulting of your gold? Wealthy Family Offices store their bullion in Swiss vaults like the privately need “Matterhorn”. You will need 1/2 million to open an account with them.

Thanks Sean. I always learn a lot from your vids!

[jasonsfam]

Another great video! Watching from California, USA. I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Keep them coming!

Good video, mostly common sense stuff that stackers should know and follow. My only other comment is that if a person is going to stack gold, he/she should invest in a Sigma Metalytics machine. Yes it’s expensive, but it will pay off in the long run. I have the Sigma Metalytics PMV Pro Mini. It’s portable and I can test the PM if the bullion dealer doesn’t have the Sigma machine on site.

Is there a price difference if I to buy in jewellery shop selling bullion or e delicate bullion shop?

[azimkhankhanazim]

Thanks Sean👍👍..can you expand on stocks? I mean gold mining companies and so on?

[jackcardozo]

I have sprott funds (backed by physical, unlike many of the other funds, which is only backed by paper)

[jironghuang]

Hey nice video. 2 quick questions: 1.) Does the year of coin matters? Do you usually buy latest year or 'various' years as I have seen in bullionstar. 2.) How do you dollar cost average into gold? The denomination is pretty huge.

[fredfrond]

What about physical gold and silver etfs. Like sprott phys or pslv which allows you to redeem in physical gold or silver?

[tobyroy]

So are gold sovereign coins from the Royal Mint a poor investment Sean?
