For the Self-Directed Precious Metals Investor
Between active traders and buy & hold investors are investors who don’t want to trade every day but also want to avoid the largest drawdowns. Here are 4 resources that we have found helpful:
• The backbone of your precious metals portfolio should be in physical metals that you keep. Jerry White’s book will help you acquire your physical metals.
• ino.com is a valuable resource that provides charts, recommendations and a discussion forum used by both active traders and self-directed investors.
• There is no better premium advisory site, in our view, than Gary Savage’s Smart Money Tracker, based on cycles, for catching the bulk of a medium-term rally and avoiding the worst draw- downs.
• If you want to avoid being shaken out of your gold and silver positions, trade smaller, don’t use leverage and check out the interviews on King World News — a few thoughtful; some merely cheerleading; and some uselessly obsessed with market manipulation. It’s not hard to tell which are which.
What’s the Value of an SDR?
“The SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries' official reserves. Its value is based on a basket of four key international currencies, and SDRs can be exchanged for freely usable currencies.”
