Author’s Note:
The time for precious metals has come. Emerging from the doldrums of a two-decade-long bear market, this millennium is witnessing a historic bull market for precious metals. Yet, the public hasn’t caught on . . . yet. As you read this book, you can catch on as well and hopefully before the crowd does.
In recent years, I have told my clients and students that precious metals are (and will be) a necessary part of a healthy and growing portfolio. I don’t tell people that precious metals are great because I wrote a book; I wrote a book because precious metals are great. For Dummies guides have become the quintessential nuts ’n’ bolts introduction to a popular or necessary topic. Why not precious metals because I think they are necessary and their popularity is strong and growing? The time is now and the place to be is in precious metals (and some related places, too, such as base metals).
Over the years, I have read and reviewed many investing books and lots of stuff on precious metals, but I didn’t see much that could offer enough information and guidance for anyone interested in precious metals, especially if you are a novice in the topic. You may have some headlines on gold or even some commercial from some precious metals firm selling gold coins, but what is there to educate you as you dive into this fantastic topic?
Just about everything a beginner (or investor with rudimentary knowledge) needs to know about gold, silver, and other prominent metals is found right between the covers of the book that you are holding right now. As is the hall-mark for For Dummies guides, the topic is laid out nicely so that you won’t have to read from start to finish like so many other books. If the only thing you are interested in is how to buy gold or what you need to know about investing in silver, the information is there, easily found and ready to be read and comprehended in minutes.
Fortunately, (for me and for you), this For Dummies guide is not a clunky, laborious read. The writing is not stuffy and loaded with academic or industrial jargon. I get to write the book in my own voice; otherwise I’d fall asleep myself! It’s a fun way to find out more about precious metals, and you can apply the info from this book immediately.
