I recently stumbled upon Schiff’s book last December and decided to invest w/his company to diversify a little. I wanted to tap into the over seas market. The minimum investment they would like is $5000.00. I started investing in March. They take a 2% fee off the top and that is it. No more fees/no commissions. So I bought 5 equities to start out with. They invest long in silver, gold, and several high dividend yielding stocks. I am only up $1000.00 approx. since March. It fluctuates quite a bit, but i’m thinking everyone follows the U.S. market. I don’t know if that’s good or bad since I’m a newbie. They try to invest in solid markets overseas, not emerging markets. Places where the economy and currency is somewhat stable. This is what I was told anyway. He has been right on w/his strategies on the housing market, but I fear the bull market in metals may be over for the time being. If anyone has any ideas if I should keep investing, please tell me.
