 Good starting point but... April 27, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
What I was really hoping for was more detailed than this book could deliver. However, as far as the history of mineral commodities and an overview, this is a great place to start. I strongly recommend this book for its basic historical perspective. So, what is missing? How about a forecast of things to come?

 An Excellent Resource for the Precious Metals Investor or Someone Who Wants To Be February 27, 2008
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is one of the best and most complete books on precious metals investing that I've read. It is great for the new investor with little or no knowledge on the subject or the more seasoned investor who has at least some limited experience. It's certainly not for the very experienced investor in precious metals. It's not that advanced. As it says, it's "A reference for the rest of us."
The book covers all sorts of PM investing, including mutual funds, ETFs, options, futures and physical holding. It gives the advantages and disadvantages of each and makes suggestions for several types of investors.
It also talks about the reporting of each type of bullion and touches on the IRS rulings and your responsibility when selling. It talks about the privacy issue and what type of bullion to buy to provide you with the greatest privacy.
There are also a number of wonderful resources listed in several chapters. I found a number of these resources extremely useful.
The author is a professional. He has no vested interest in selling gold or silver or other metals. It also talks to you about selling --- something many books fail to do. The author also discusses technical analysis and other ways to analyze a PM investment.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in investing in precious metals at any level. It talks about all forms of metals, not just gold.
