unallocated is bad, if the dealer goes bankrupt, you'll never see your money back. Oh and this channel is the best.

[@bobbyv3]

"If you don't hold it, you don't own it." Unallocated accounts are BS and a good way to lose your money. There was a guy that went to prison back in the 90's for doing those "unallocated accounts" crap. I'm sure there are others that should be in jail.

Love this video. It re-enforces my long held belief that: "If you don't HOLD it, you don't OWN it." Even segregated, you said it: "If you can make your way to the facility...." That's exactly it...What if you can't make it to the facility? What if the delivery system is down? Yeah, you'll have to yank it out of my dead cold hands.

[@iggy5347]

Yes but you have to pay for the vault storage fees if you owned it. But the other option is free storage but you dont owned physically your gold

There is this saying....If You Don't Hold It, You Don't Own It. btw here.. self audit needs to pay $100 per visit on top of the annual storage fees. Yes, your precious metals are safe in the vault.. esp if u are holding substantial amount of gold and silver , like few hundreds thousands or millions of dollars worth of PM..

[@chriswalters6148]

good to know about fee

[@8475143117]

Pardon me, I must be missing something here... Having someone hold onto my silver/gold is kinda like having someone hold onto my ammo isn't it? What good is it for someone to hold onto my ammo that I have NO immediate access to when I need it? I don't get it.... I think I have a better idea, why not I purchase the metal and have them ship it to me and I will store it myself that way I know that I OWN IT....

[@xskalibur]

Another very informative video!

[@benth162]

I won't even watch this video, because I go by this; IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN YOUR POSSESSION, YOU DON'T OWN IT. Your box rental as well will destroy what little value you'll gain through price fluctuations and inflation. You'll more than make up the price of home safe with the rental cost at most vaults. If the state wants your gold and silver they'll just go to those vaults and take it, but if you have it at home in a safe, and they come and want to take it they may be met with lead instead. CAPICHE ??? In other words my friends don't trust anyone during this COVID-19 debacle as there are scam artist out there just waiting to steal us blind !

[@TheAverlorn]

Yes good words but I did see a small error, metal investments are protected against inflation which makes them valued and more trustworthy than stocks+funds to begin with. That's what makes them different :)

[@jamesabber7891]

A lot of good advice, but I would like to add a few comments: With unallocated storage you do not own the metal you "bought". You just have a claim on the metal, just like you have a claim on money you have lent. So you have a counterparty risk that you may not get your metal if your counterparty go bust. Because of this I do not use unallocated storage. What you call comingled storage is what I call unsegregated allocated storage. The majority of my precious metal is in this form, done via BullionVault. They are clear about all the metal being in LBMA Good Delivery form, so there is no real risk of getting delivery of other bars. You need to have large holdings to be able to take delivery, but on the other hand there are very liquid markets with small spreads, enabling you to sell or buy fast. Most important is the fully allocated storage. Here I do not directly use other providers. A part of the metal I hold on this form is directly in my personal possession, while the rest is stored in a bank safety deposit box. Legally the big difference between allocated and unallocated storage is if you pay a storage fee for your metal held elsewhere. If you do not, courts will - in case of dispute - in general rule that is was unallocated storage, and that can be bad if your storage provider goes bust.

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

Actually bars from companies that no longer produced are considered vintage and can carry a pretty decent premium. If that's really how you feel about that bar I'd gladly buy it from you. Collectors would pay me way more for it than you'd sell for thinking of it as scrap

[@lonk0420]

The thing is that you have to find someone willing to pay for it as a vintage bar, such as a collector. If you need the money quickly this can be a bit tricky

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

[@jpdurr]

I think you came off overly critical of Unallocated Storage as an option. While there are positives and negatives associated with all the forms you showed (and you did touch upon them) Unallocated can be a form of a diversified "portfolio" of storage options, helping one to create an optimal amount of cost, risks, and rewards for their off site precious metals storage options. Me thinks SWP might have had a different take on it if it was one of the services they offered. Of course, the reputation and track record of the storage facility will come into play when making any kind of storage decisions.

[@frankbeans289]

All these issues are correct, plus in a SHTF scenario you won't have access to your stack. In other words, for investors this probably isn't a concern, but for a stacker/prepper, don't ever keep your chicken's in someone else's chicken coop.

Fully allocated and segregated does not eliminate third party risk. The vault is the third party and the people whom operate the vault are the risk. You are the risk. Even if I trusted your holding my property, I don't think the fees are worth it. Furthermore, by having you hold my property, I am entering into a contract with you, which reduces my holdings to "a piece of paper".

[@max5183]

If I wanna invest, I do it with everything, but not gold/silver. The amount of gold and silver in coins is the absolut last resort, like currency reset last resort. I don't buy gold to make money, and if the time comes that I really need that last resort, I can't have it in some vault hours away with no access. Or only existing on paper. However if you see gold as just another asset to make a return of your money, there is no need to even buy it in its physical form.

[@charliehinde1701]

I cannot conceive of the mind of a man that would take his precious metals and put them in an Unallocated facility when Fully Segregated exists. Presumably Unallocated is cheaper storage

[@MarksElectricLife]

[@RockyMountainTrails]

if you buy 20- 1 kg bars and ask for delivery ,they will give it to you in 2- 10kg bars which is fraud when people purchase 1 kg price instead of being cheaper for buying 1 large bars

[@jec1ny]

When you buy an unallocated account, you need to be certain that you are buying physical metal with the right to demand delivery of said metals and understand the conditions that may apply to demanding physical redemption. You should assume you are getting the cheapest generic metals on the market. Otherwise the legal burden is on the vendor/storing party to deliver. Caveat emptor. Do your due diligence and be sure you are dealing with a reputable business that has been around for a while and that your metals are insured. Yes, there are horror stories floating around. But they are not nearly as common as some would have us believe. They are in fact fairly rare and often are largely a result of the client failing to know what they are getting into and, again, attending to due diligence. Beyond that, if you don't trust someone to handle an unallocated account, why would you trust them with your business at all?
