How to Buy Gold for Investment & Retirement Portfolio 2025

[@jonathansmarts5990]

These guys were asking amazing questions. Great to watch.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thank you! They were great sports!

5:05 higher premium is only an issue if you sell beck to the dealers.(they have to keep the lights and feed their staff). However, if you sell your stack privately, the premium moves on to the next buyer. Remember, we are only custodians of our stacks. We all have to sell/pass them on at some time to the next custodian. I never worry about premiums. They are the cost of running a businesses. 30 years ago, gold was around $300 an ounce. In 10 to 15 years you will double your money. What ever the spot price when you started. I'd buy from these guys any day if they were my local dealers. Hope that helps anyone thinking about it.😊

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Well said! Thank you!

[@fareast_de]

Great educational vid for beginners who want to invest in physical PM, starring Russ Bega. 😉 Thanks for taking us along, and a prosperous New Year 2025 ! Greets from GER, U.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Glad you enjoyed it! Russ is the man!

[@jadenephrite]

Regarding 3:35, gold's price measured per ounce is not an avoirdupois ounce. Instead gold is weighed per troy ounce. The important difference is that a troy ounce is 9.7% heavier than an avoirdupois ounce. Avoirdupois ounces are used to weigh groceries, meat and ordinary merchandise. On the other hand, troy ounces are used to weigh precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, etc.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

He mentioned that, but unfortunately, I had to cut that part out due to too many people talking that in the background.

[@stantheman9226]

Harlan J Berk is a wonderful dealer for many types of coins and artifacts but 120 over spot for a bullion grade 1 oz gold eagle!? Not the best price, you're paying for crazy overhead as well as premium, thanks for saving me a trip downtown!

[@Radslom]

I had been collecting coins for nearly 20 years, and I found the video very informative. Thank you for posting the video

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year!

[@SilverStruck]

Happy New Year T and family! This was an awesome video to watch. How could you not buy from Russ, what a nice guy and resource!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy new year, my friend! Looking forward to more great vintage finds in 2025!

[@bigdaddyhoffman1911]

Excellent explanation and I do this with folks everyday. Thanks for the video.......Happy New Year!!! 👍👍👍

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy new year!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks!

[@andrewkolb6309]

Happy to see more people gravitate to PMs way to share T

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Absolutely! My pleasure to provide this little introductory video.

[@jadenephrite]

@ 1:12 Russ Bega is wrong, because the American Gold Eagle Coin is not 90% gold, instead it is 91.67% gold which is 22 karat gold alloy. On the other in olden days, United States Mint gold coins for circulation were 90% gold.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Honest mistake, I’m sure.

[@Ken-o7j]

Yep, noticed that too, LOL. He really seemed to lead them to HIS preferences. They may want to go talk to another dealer...

[@GANAPATIIIII]

Stack while you can and what you could spare and afford - plus it will benefit you in the long run 😇

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Amen!

[@JimJanowiecki]

You don't want a gold bar. Harry the coin shop owner says he can't pay spot if he's buying bars because no one wants them.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I prefer coins, myself.

[@scottywalker701]

Premiums are for collectors

[@Eli-qr9hc]

Love this very important topic, I’d love to hear more about the ‘retirement’ factor

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks! More to come!

[@MarkMphonoman]

Watching your video on TV as I type this on my iPad. Excellent tutorial. Informative, honest and helpful. I plan on referring it to friends and family who are interested in learning how to buy and sell gold and precious metals. Also, will subscribe to your channel. Best wishes for 2025. Let’s hope gold goes to $3k this year. 😄

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thank you very much! I enjoy making these videos and always appreciate the feedback. It’s encouragement to do more.

[@harleyturner7449]

I’ve sold gold a couple of times and I’ve always got a little above spot. I had to call around to get that but if $20 or 30 is worth your time call around.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Definitely worth it to do your research.

[@THECRANKYONE]

What a great video T! Happy New Year to you and Mrs.T! Thank you for sharing this information. 😠👍

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy new year! Best wishes in 2025!

[@MikeSTGL]

Thanks for the video . Great info. Appreciate the honesty on the forecasting. Their premium are fair ( from what I have seen ) . Will try to stop next time in Chicago, look at those low premium small gold pieces.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Right on! Tell ‘em T says hi!

[@videoWatcher77]

the American Gold Eagle (AGE) in the beginning he said was 90% pure but its actually 91.67% pure (22 karat), but still contains 1 full troy ounce of pure Gold by weight

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I’m sure he simply misspoke. Honest mistake.

[@cbk1232]

Great information on what premiums you charge and the buyback price

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Yep. Up front and honest.

[@getx1265]

Nice video! Happy New Year T !!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy new year Gary!

[@Nunniabussiness]

Love the video

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks!! Happy New Year!

[@bullionaddict9164]

Happy New Year

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy new year!!

[@brokecryptominer]

costco charge lots less on premium. sometimes could be under spot with rebates.

[@michaelmohrle1773]

American pre 1933 gold coins is another option that's really good. They have the gold and collectors value to them similar to how baseball cards and comic books have value, but are made out of gold!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

[@Richmart1955]

❤ Happy New Year ❤

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy new year!!

[@steadystacker43]

The )75$ over spot for the 1/10th eagles is a terrible price .that comes out to $340-$345 . You can get them for $303 from Scottsdale, pinehurst ,liberty coin .

[@andrewmacomber1638]

Man! I wish I could find a dealer like Russ near me! I’ve not had great experiences at my local shops. I get it… it’s a tough business specifically right now. But man can you please at least pretend to enjoy your work. 🤷‍♂️✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🌎

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Exactly! There are some crabby old guys out there. Russ is passionate about his chosen profession.

[@hubster4477]

Those local coins, with higher premiums, buffalo, age will be easier to sell and get a better price.

[@Ken-o7j]

A lot of people can only afford fractional gold. Didn't really care how he seemed to be pushing the 1oz coins or bars. Yea, they have bigger premiums, but at least you can stack gold.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

@@Ken-o7j I’m a fractional guy. Can’t afford a whole ounce at a time.

[@ctg18158]

Never pay more than 2.5% over spot for gold bullion. Silver premiums are crazy at this time.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Silver premiums have actually come way down.

[@ctg18158]

@@TtheSilverStacker I can't recommend anyone buy silver with premiums ranging from 16% to 21%.

[@RichardRoche-c2w]

I buy the ducets. 8 plus one British 1/2 Sovereign. Makes fror 1.0025 ounces.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Sounds like a wise choice!

[@goldsilverjunkie]

Does that microphone actually work or is it for decoration?

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Actually works.

[@harleyturner7449]

I really can’t believe some of the prices this guys saying he’s charging to buy gold back. Everyone charges a premium to sell but when buying it’s very seldom less than spot, at least here in Ohio.

[@Statlernwaldorf]

Why wasn’t this dealer transparent like Vermillion Enterprises with the buy back price? 🤔

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I thought he was pretty transparent. Hard to cover such a broad topic in a 15 minute video.

[@Statlernwaldorf]

@@TtheSilverStackerreally? all of Vermillion’s videos do it in less than that…it’s easy just say I sell these for this price and buy back at this price? -was that too long?

[@TtheSilverStacker]

@@Statlernwaldorf Maybe you should just stick to watching Vermilion’s videos. They’re pretty good!

[@Statlernwaldorf]

@@TtheSilverStackerthe title says “how to buy gold as an investment” so wouldn’t you want to inform people all about what they’re getting into? Just saying…

[@Statlernwaldorf]

@@TtheSilverStackerso you really don’t care😂 got it.

[@waynemaas7517]

The lady in the video asked great questions. I thought they would leave with some gold.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Wayne! I’m thinking they may go back.

[@TroyCraft]

Like when she suggested stock prices could be forecasted?

[@waynemaas7517]

@TroyCraft no, not that question.

[@silenthunger3472]

Timing is very possible; no LCS will tell you the truth on this. Buy a little anytime the weekly price closes lower on Friday than it opened the previous Sunday night. This is called "scaling". Dollar cost average your purchases if it makes sense, but buy in increments regardless. This will allow you to capture a lower basis and will protect against big losses during times of weakness or getting "trapped in the trade". You will not be able to sell profitably for some time after because of the premium and the bid/ask spread. LCS would prefer that you buy it all at once at the top of the market and then sell it all back at the bottom. I have seen shop owners pull metal off the shelf if the price drops to low and as well refuse to buy when price is to high.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@noicue8078]

I understand that it’s hard to put a long video on. But I hope that the conversation between Russ and that couple went more into depth. I feel that a lot more questions could have been asked and answered. 👍

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Yes. Due to noise in the background, I had to cut a lot out.

[@happymood888]

What I have learned from stacking from the past 7 months do not go to a coin shop they will overprise you

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Definitely shop around.

[@craftsman98]

I been waited a year for this video😢

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@TheMostSlyFox]

If only you could buy metals in a retirement portfolio without getting screwed by dealer premiums of 10+ percent lol

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I guess you have to ask yourself, who else sells anything under the sun for under 10% profit margin?

[@TheMostSlyFox]

@@TtheSilverStacker Pretty much any other asset class on an openly traded exchange

[@jonathansmarts5990]

Accidentally walked into this store when we were visiting Chicago and met Michael before I saw this channel. Michael was amazing and showed a bunch of stuff to me and my wife. We ended up walking out with a small purchase.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Mike is the man! Keep an eye out for my next video with Mike coming soon.

[@RichardRoche-c2w]

The Gold Eagle is NOT 90%. It is 91.67%, or 22K.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Honest mistake. I’m sure he just misspoke with the camera rolling. Thanks

[@josephmaphis3550]

❤🎉

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Happy New Year!

[@tickedoff1438]

I disagree on the Ducats. Not nearly as liquid.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Ok

[@fareast_de]

It depends where you are living at. Over here in Europe, Austrian one and four Ducats are well known as "bullion forerunners" and very easy to sell.

[@arte9855]

The guy that bought 1.1M every other week invested 25+M over the year to make a million dollars 😮 that's what like 2.5% over a year. Your local bank CD was 5%.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

To each their own.

[@tickedoff1438]

Then BOOM! The bank fails, and you’re standing around thinking what happened…

[@BigJ-y4i]

I don't think he was buying the whole year, he was talking about the first few months when gold was under 2300. He got hit with 37% in fed tax and 5% in state tax if he lives in IL.

[@silenthunger3472]

It not a "duck-it" its a "Doo-Caught"

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Did I mention we were in Chicago? Home of Da Bears and Da Kits.

[@DaveRichardson-v6f]

This guy seems obsessed with buying gold buy the ounce most stacker's like me can't afford to go out and just buy an ounce we can only afford fractional.Fractional doe's have it's benefit's if you only need say $300 to pay a bill sell a 10th ounce if you have got your gold in just ounces your just going to end up with cash after you sell an ounce personally i will stick to buying fractional gold as the old saying go's it's better to have some than none Happy new year from English Dave 😃

[@TtheSilverStacker]

That’s exactly why I asked about fractional. I’m not too proud to admit that ounces aren’t in my budget.

[@daviddavey1727]

more of an alternative savings are not great investments,

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Agreed! Hope that was communicated in the video.
