Buying Gold Bars - Everything You Must Know (Beginner's Guide)

[@Daniel-b1s3s]

Gold appears poised for strong performance this year, and I’m eager to capitalize on it. I have around $40,000 set aside for investment, but I’m not particularly adept at navigating the complexities of the market. What’s the best way to proceed?

[@HotManP-l5g]

It’s wise to avoid acting on every market prediction. Consulting with a financial expert before making investment decisions can provide clarity and help you make informed choices-just my two cents.

[@Toni__Michelle]

Many people underestimate the value of financial advisors when it comes to exploring new investment opportunities. However, over the past four years, my advisor has continually restructured and diversified my portfolio, resulting in over $3 million in gains. It may not sound like much to some, but it has provided me with significant financial security.

[@FrankJaaay]

I’m glad to have come across this discussion. I’ve been hearing recommendations to work with a financial advisor, but finding a reputable one has been a challenge. Could you share the details of your advisor?

[@Toni__Michelle]

Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.

[@DanöVee]

Out of curiosity, I searched for the advisor you mentioned and easily found her webpage. I reviewed her qualifications, which are quite impressive, so I’ve already scheduled a call with her.

[@MUI_LJ]

I've always had this theory that gold and other types of valuable metals could serve us well in countries suffering from economical shocks such as inflation, recession,default etc. Mostly because i believe the amount of global gold is limited and prices could only drop if there were to be discovered new sources for exploiting it.

A lot of people here want to buy gold to make money but people forget the true value of gold which is wealth storage. It's the safest asset to own for value for which we have 5000 years of data on. Inflation, especially when we have 8%, gold premiums make no difference. Great video sir.

[@SeanFooGold]

Well said indeed!

[@Zion-neo88]

How many oz are you buying for an 8% premium? Premiums are usually quite a bit more. Gold as an investment isn't very good, it barely keeps up with inflation as a return.

Considering the current market uncertainty, it appears prudent to consider investing in gold or a gold ETF. I'm contemplating allocating over $300k for retirement purposes. While the potential for short-term gains in a bullish market is enticing, I recognize the importance of maintaining a long-term investment strategy.

[@edelineguillet2121]

Gold is seen as a safe bet during economic ups and downs. But investing in it can be tricky. Some people lose money because they don't understand how it works. So, it's wise to be careful. I suggest talking to a financial advisor who can help you figure out when to buy and sell.

As a beginner, only buy from bullion dealers who can test the gold and silver that you are buying in your presence. This means that they must have equipment like an XRF metal analyser and/or a precious metal verifier that can detect fakes. No joke, even bullion dealers have purchased fakes by accident through buybacks when they neglected to test all their purchases.

[@AnnaOllsson]

I believe the U.S. dollar index will decline significantly, from 103 to 74, as hyperinflation intensifies. Don't be fooled by claims of falling inflation leading up to the midterm elections. I anticipate a resurgence of hyperinflation in 2023.

[@HildaBennet]

Your true character as an investor is revealed when the companies you've invested in experience significant declines. You may start to doubt your convictions, strategies, and decision-making processes. The market can be challenging, and falling stock prices can test your resolve. However, it's important to maintain a clear understanding of your investments and seek to buy at the best possible prices. Declining prices can present an opportunity to lower your average cost basis, which can be beneficial in the long run.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

The deeper the correction the greater the chances of new positions and hence clarifications. These days the best way to come into the market space is with patience and seeking guidance when necessary. For instance, due to the nature of my job, I can’t handle my portfolio so I just copy the market picks of an Advisor i saw on Bloomberg business news. It’s been smooth since then. I have saved myself all the hassle that chaotic market causes.

[@Skiptickle]

Many people I know are scared off of investing in gold because of today's high premiums. I have my own take on this matter and would be interested in your opinion Sean. Nobody, myself included, likes paying high premiums, but if you consider the reason for the increased premiums you may come away with a different take. Higher premiums often reflect an increased cost in mining, transporting and smelting the metal. Todays higher costs are mainly due to inflation. Another driver in price is the relative scarcity of the gold supply available to your local bullion dealer. Now when you think about it, inflation and limited supply are the two biggest factors in driving up the spot price of gold and other precious metals. So on the one hand we don't like paying high premiums, but on the other hand those high premiums are generally a strong indication that the price of gold is about to rise quickly.

[@SeanFooGold]

Very good insight. Higher premiums do signal higher demand but I think it is also important that some people are turned off by the higher premiums or else it will just go through the roof and dealers can take advantage of it. Right now the paper price does control the physical price and hopefully down the road, there will be a decoupling and true price discovery of the physical metal.

[@65stang98]

also saw a fact theres only about 50,000 tons of gold left in the earth unmined. they estimated abt 18-20 years to mine it all then thats it until we can mine some asteroids which will be a few decades most likely

@@SeanFooGold very good indeed

[@900108Chale]

@@SeanFooGold Great point! On the same line: _If we're betting on "paper money" to lose it's worth, how much will that premium actually influence your costs?_ It's effect would actually diminish quickly... *l give you an example:* After WWI my mother's grandfather, a very wealthy German who invested in Real Estate, experienced a cash squeeze. Whatever wealth he had was invested in real estate (houses, residential buildings and land). BUT he ran out of cash for their daily needs. Hyperinflation started eating into his holdings since people needed to fulfill immediate needs, hence not interested in "promising investments" such as Real Estate. _In a moment of desperation he was forced to barter a piece of land in exchange for grain..._ *The lesson here?* So called "Hard Assets" had no real purchasing power during Germany's hyperinflation era. Had my grand-granddad saved in precious metals, that grain would have cost him "x" amount of gold instead of sacrificing a good chunk of land to feed his family... On the other hand, imagine how many other properties could he have bought if he had precious metals instead of fast depreciating real estate. *If paper money loses trust (which is the only thing that supports FIAT currency), NOTHING will save your from suffering unless you got an Asset that is widely accepted and honored.* In such an event do Premiums actually matter? I'd say what will matter is the trustworthiness of the coin/bar you put forward. _ino: Premiums may play a Key Role in bartering..._

Buying smaller bars more frequently can actually be a good idea. If you have a habit of buying bars on a regular basis this can be a way of dollar cost averaging, especially in a gold bear market. Selling more bars and spreading them out also could yield more profit durring a rally. On a low budget it is much more achiveable to buy smaller more often. They also make great gifts.

agreed! i always force myself to buy gold bar 1-5 grams/month

[@riyastir]

Go for 20gram in every 4 month . Premium is high on 1 gram and 5 gram

[@Dolbic.]

and one thing, dont buy branded gold bars like what he mentioned in the video, gold sellers dont care about the brand, and they will weight the gold give you the market price rather than counting in the brand name, cause buying branded gold bars will have premium price thus will be harder to sell with profit later on.

[@markostipcevic]

@Dolbic Sometimes they do sell at a slightly higher price, but it is not proportional to the premium of course. Buying certain brands can mean higher security: hard to replicate markings, kinobar hologram, QR code. I definitely would advise not to buy online and non reputable (especially) Chinese brands because they are often falsified. Buying from a reputable seller is a must too.

Thank you for your video. Regarding 9:37, fake gold bars made from gold covered tungsten can deceive buyers, because the density of tungsten is almost the same as the density of gold at 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. However, special analytical equipment can determine if a gold bar is genuine by performing non-destructive tests without removing a gold bar from its original packaging. For example, the Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier can perform electrical conductivity testing. Another tester is an X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer which can measure the metallic composition of a bar or coin. An example is the Olympus GoldXpert XRF Analyzer.

[@SeanFooGold]

Great comment as usual, thanks for the headsup on checking for authentic gold. Tungsten bars are an investor's worst nightmare. The cheapest and most reliable I think might be the Sigma Metalytics to be on the safe side. If I am not wrong, the X-Ray Spectrometer might cost a small fortune to purchase!

@@SeanFooGold According to my statistics in my country (CZ): 1g - 30%, 2g - 20%, 2,5g - 25% (PAMP only always higher premium), 5g - 14%, 10g - 10%, 20g - 8%, 1 oz and 50g - 6,5% I am looking to buy under these premiums, possible to buy 5g bar or 1/4 oz coin for under 8% premium sometimes

[@SeanFooGold]

@@frantiseklaluch6605 Looks about right. But 50grams should technically have a lower premium. But yea, 1g premiums are outrageous.

[@frantiseklaluch6605]

@@SeanFooGold Right, 50 g should have lower prremium, but does not. My personal explanation, 50g bars are made in smaller batches an also sell less than most common 1 oz bars/coins. That makes 1 oz the best option. Also easier to sell.

hmm makes sense, I think 50g bars might even be less popularthan 1 oz bars or coins

I used to buy Pamp gold bars but found out from the dealer there are very realistic fakes floating around. I only buy from authorised dealers but knowing there are fakes on the market affects the trust in them. I prefer sovereign gold coins as they are hard to fake and I am hoping they will be easier to sell in future. Btw, Good channel on precious metals!

Thanks for watching! Yup gold bars are indeed more frequent to counterfeiting. Best is to test them on the spot when purchasing for that peace of mind.

Out of curiosity in a “SHTF” sort of scenario, wouldn’t having gold at lower weights be more valuable for bartering purposes? Just hypothetically speaking would it be easier to transact in lower weights like a 1-10 grams in case of a nation state collapsing or hyperinflation destroying a fiat currency? Long term storage and capital preservation of wealth with the larger weights make more sense but if bartering had to be done it would be easier and safer to use smaller amounts right?

[@SeanFooGold]

The big problem is the premium loss which is significant at 1-10 grams. It can get up to 20-40% above spot. I'd rather just cash out a full ounce and spend the fiat over a few weeks or a month.

it's just the physical spread. The bigger the bar, the smaller the spread

If you don't hold the asset then all you have is a claim against whomever does hold the physical asset. If that party goes bust, is shutdown by a regulator or is otherwise out of the market them you can lose out.

The biggest problem with buying gold is the premium charged on top of the actual gold value. Then your sell value will be a bit lower than spot price and you have to wait forever to see any profit. As a long term store of value for survival it makes sense tho.
