Indiana no longer has sales tax on gold and silver bullion. No fees (slight markup over spot) other than shipping if you buy online, no shipping local obviously .I've thought about buying gold/silver but it is a complicated world full of fees and confusion...
I buy stuff I can hold in my hand. I do not do paper investments for precious metals. Those are only worth the paper like our dollars. If everyone tried to cash in on their paper gold money we would instantly have a financial collapse. There isnt that much gold in the world to back it up.
I think platinum is a very good investment right now. Some agree some disagree. Welcome to the market lol
