Gold and silver are everywhere right now—new highs, violent price smashdowns, and nonstop confusion.
So the real question isn’t “What’s the price doing?”
It’s “Am I thinking about precious metals the right way?”
In this extended Q&A episode of The Precious Metals Coach, I answer the most common questions I get from listeners and clients—from first-time buyers to experienced stackers—so you can stop reacting like a trader and start thinking like a precious metals owner.
I break down, in plain language:
- Why gold and silver prices are so volatile—and how paper manipulation and shorting drive big price moves
- How spot price really works, and why it often has little to do with physical metal
- The difference between paper metals (ETFs, futures, derivatives) and metal you can actually hold
- Why “if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it” matters more today than ever
- Coins vs bars vs generics vs junk silver vs collectibles—and what I suggest avoiding if you’re new
- How and where to buy precious metals safely
- How to store metals properly and why I don’t recommend safety deposit boxes
- When (and if) you should ever sell—and smarter alternatives than selling
- Gold vs silver right now—and how to think about ratios instead of headlines
- Why gold and silver have outperformed stocks and cash over the last 5 years
- Why precious metals are real money first, an investment second
I also discuss the January 30th price smackdown, why nothing has changed fundamentally, and why money printing, debt, inflation, and tight supply continue to support higher precious metals prices long term.
