If you have Gold in a vault with a bank or, any other "State" regulated institution, the probability of the "State" introducing a "Special" tax in order to take `wealth` away from you to use for their own purposes is "High". The `state` will always try to control/regulate any "Popular means of exchange` , if you want to own gold then : 1) buy it & `hide it/wear it, 2) DO NOT tell others about your `nest-egg`. Another "Good currency"-invest in your education/skills! "High skill" = valuable!
If you can afford 400oz's of gold, I'm sure shipment and insurance are moot points. If you can afford that almost half-million $ worth of gold, this program is moot.
In terms of rating the video itself I gave 5 stars for the following reasons : whether you agree or disagree with this type of investment vehicle I have to say the video is clear and informative without any distracting music or effects. Straight to the point. and professionally presented. I particularly like the bullet points which support the spoken messeges. Thanks for a great effort.
Dear aherrod2007, if what you are saying is correct - which is that gold taken out of official vaults loses some of its value, then why am I unable to buy gold on the private/unregulated market for less than 110% or more of the official spot price ? My point is I wish you were right but I just can't find this cheaper gold you mention. Please note I'm not trying to sabbotage your efforts to promote bullion vault - I'm just stating the not so obvious.
My impression is that aherrod2007 is totally genuine in what he proposes. However the basic premis of gold/silver or other pm's is that there is no counter party risk. As soon as you fail to take physical posession you reintroduce counter party risk - the kind of risk an astute pm investor is trying to circumvent in the first place. I believe etf's trusts and the like are great while things haven't turned to custard. When the proverbial hits the fan its the physical stuff that helps joe average.
@Michael7477 Michael, I understand where you're coming from, regarding the "counter party risk". But this risk can be minimised to a level that is equivalent to (if not less than) depositing cash in a bank. The investor must be diligent and do thorough research into the company with which they are about to invest.
@Michael7477 But here is the bottom line; choosing professional storage does have an element of risk. Taking physical posession has its own risks. The potential investor must decide which risk they are more comfortable taking and then make their choice.
If anyone believes that taking physical posession devalues your gold than I say the following : check out "trademe" in New Zealand. I can't speak for other countries but here in NZ gold held by private individuals consistently sells fot NZD 1750 upwards and well beyond for numismatic fans. Spot in NZD is 1560 approximately. USD21.00 for silver is an absolute bargain and will usually sell no prob. USD 1200 is the bottom at the moment for gold.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. I'm such a small time investor that I only have coins. They come in sealed plastic pouches with certificates ( .9999 pure) and are well recognized in NZ. In fact on trading sites they sell 10 to 15% above what the mint charges and approximately 20% or so above spot. I do understand what you say about good delivery bars and you're right of course. It's just most people can't afford 400 ounce bars..................................
I agree with you that not everyone has the ability to purchase a 400 ounce bar (well, I know I don't! lol). But this video shows you a company that allows you to buy ONE GRAM at a time, if you desire. Now that's not smart, but it is possible.
Take physical possesion. There's nothing impractical about taking possesion and storing it in a reputable vault. The reason why many invest in bullion is as a hedge for troubled times. I think people will find bullion of little use if it happens to be stored in Zurich London or New York unless you live there of course. Now that's what I call impractical. If I decide to store suplies of any kind it won't be in Zurich. It'll be under MY control where I can acces it.
@Michael7477 I respectfully disagree. Taking physical immediately devalues the gold by jeopardizing the "Good Delivery" status. This devaluation does not occur with gold that has been stored in a professional storage facility.
@Michael7477 A bigger problem is the possibility of gold confiscation. I don't know about New Zealand, but here in the USA we have a history of governmental gold confiscation. It happened during the administrtion of President Franklin Roosevelt (go to your favorite search engine and enter "Roosevelt Gold Confiscation"). A smart buyer of gold will store their gold professionally and NOT in their home country (unless their home country is Switzerland).

if we dig GOLD out from the ground then keeping it in the house should be fine i think. it's common sense and safe
