The Beginner's Guide to Investing in Gold
As far as my friends and family were concerned, I’d put all my money on red. There are a vast number of commodities, but I couldn’t invest in all of them. More research was required.
What did I really believe in?
I chose gold. It’d been around for thousands of years and “had form”.
Everyone thought I was mad. At the time, property was all the rage, and I’d just left a major property company to focus on something that few cared about. But I stuck to my guns, and I’m pleased I did.
I used the same analysis that I’d learned in the city when buying and selling companies – something that also worked on properties.
My investments went well, and I was on track.
I’d found my calling.
People liked what I was doing, and I was asked to write a Newsletter for MoneyWeek called Metals & Miners. Word got out, and I was asked to work with Jim Rickards on Gold Speculator, a newsletter run by Agora Financial (one of the world’s largest newsletter companies).
Writing newsletters was good, but they weren’t cheap, so my message was more of a whisper than a shout. If you had over £600, you could find out what I was doing. But most people didn’t.
One of my investments was life-changing, and I made a lot of money. Several others did very well, too. My pension pot went from around £192,231 to £790,396 in less than nine months.
Now, I’m on track to live, not just exist.
Great for me, but I wanted to help MORE people. I not only wanted to make my parents proud but make a difference in the world.
