Welcome to the Alex Lexington Network, where we delve into the intricate world of precious metals investment. Our latest discussion explores whether it’s too late to invest in gold and silver, and if not, what considerations and common mistakes you should be aware of. Our experts, Danielle Vanessa Dawkins-Osborne and Andre Osborne, provide invaluable insights into this enduring form of wealth preservation and growth.
Introduction: Is It Too Late to Start Investing in Gold and Silver?
Investing in gold and silver might seem daunting given their current high prices. Many clients approach us with questions like, “Is it too late to start investing?” At Alex Lexington, we believe that it’s never too late if you understand some fundamentals.
Andre Osborne states, “Time is on your side if you’re in your sixties or fifties and just starting. Precious metals reward those with consistency and time on their side despite market fluctuations.” With inflation consistently pushing prices up, investing in gold and silver remains a viable strategy for wealth preservation.
Avoiding Common Mistakes in Gold and Silver Investments
Beginning your investment journey with limited edition or novelty items could hinder your investment potential. Instead, focus on sticking to basics like standard mint coins and bars. Andre Osborne advises, “The U.S. mint creates a range of items which may not hold value for investment purposes. Your best bet are Eagles, sovereign mint coins, and standard mint sizes—one ounce, ten ounce coins, and bars.”
While the allure of unique pieces is appealing, investing in widely recognized coins provides liquidity and ease of trade. Andre adds, “Standard issues are more recognizable internationally and offer stability to your portfolio. Save special items for collecting fun.”
Building Trust and Long-Term Client Relationships
In an industry interwoven with trust, building strong relationships with clients is imperative. “Information and consistency are key,” says Danielle Dawkins-Osborne. By ensuring clients understand every aspect of their investment journey and offering reliable and current market information, trust is naturally cultivated.
Being part of a family with 40 years in the precious metals market boosts reliability. The equipment and expertise we have means every piece we handle is verified—reassuring clients that they’re getting accurate and consistent information.
Educating Clients on the Benefits of Precious Metal Investments
Educating clients goes beyond data sheets. We relate investment concepts to real-world scenarios. Andre Osborne illustrates this with an analogy comparing the cost of living to the price of silver, emphasizing how, over time, silver has consistently outpaced living costs.
Through various platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and the Alex Lexington newsletter, we provide ongoing education and updates. As a client, having ears to the ground in precious metals and economic sectors is invaluable.
