These days it can be tricky to know where your money is going or how safe it is when it gets there. Making reliable long term investments is a necessary move for anyone who wants to build a stable future for themselves and their families. Though it may seem unorthodox or archaic to some, precious metals are a sure fire way to diversify and strengthen your portfolio if you're not already involved. Now I'm no expert, and I'd never pretend to have all the answers to all your questions regarding *why* gold and silver are the way to go. So I called in Mark Yaxley! The real deal in precious metals... dealings. Thankfully Mark was nice enough to sit with yours truly for a few minutes and take me back to Econ class with a new "silver lining." I learned a great deal in a short time and I hope you all enjoy the chat as much as I did.
