There are a number of companies I have worked with past. I would suggest NWT Mint and The Tulving Company. I have had success with both. The core belief in gold is most important. I am long term as I believe gold and silver have huge upside potential.
I prefer to hold something with value in troubling economic times. Don’t be afraid to make a commitment as holding the physical commodity has much less downside risk than owning securities, IMHO. I am a much bigger fan of owning physical commodities as I believe there is much more room for manipulation with ETFs.
Stocktradr, I have been in the same boat hoping gold would break that mid 700 range and silver would break the low 8 range, but I think we are going to start moving in a northern direction as the realization of our current economic state becomes much more apparent. In my opinion, the Dollar is in big, big trouble!
