The Cautious Investor's Guide to Profits in Precious Metals

Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of investing in precious metals, looks at the gold, silver, platinum, and palladium markets, and tells how to manage one's investments

Because neither he nor anyone else knows the future direction of precious metal prices, Kehrer advises taking a balanced view on the place of metals in an overall investment plan. In his assessment, the counter-inflationary properties of metals are still in place and, for this and other reasons, the potential volatility of paladium and platinum prices is explosive in comparison to gold and silver. Kehrer discusses the various ways of buying, selling, and owning metals and, notwithstanding his reluctance to gaze into the future, he does offer advice on timing the purchase of precious metals. A worthwhile update to investment collections. Joseph Barth, U.S. Military Acad. Lib., West Point,
