You could get four gallons of gas for a dollar back in the day. Then, U.S. currency was backed by precious metals, like silver. Dollar bills even said “silver certificate” right on them. That’s no longer the case, and in some places you can’t get much more than a gallon of gas for a buck. The same amount of silver, however, still buys the same amount of gas it once did. Precious metals, you see, retain their value even while paper money loses a great deal of its buying power. That makes precious metal investment an attractive option--especially in unsteady political and economic times like ours. A company like Monex, who has been giving investors great guidance with respect to precious metals for almost forty years, can help you diversity your portfolio with a little bling! Precious metals might be just what you need to round out your investment plan.
