Bullion coins & bars are also known as precious metals. At ASI, it is our opinion that adding precious metal to any portfolio introduces a tangible asset to your asset mix. It also increases diversification and protects your portfolio. The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has steadily declined since the United States went off the Gold Standardⁱ in 1971.

We also believe:

• The dollar will continue to decline
• Owning goldⁱ, silver, platinum or palladium bullion is easy and convenient
• Commissions on buying and selling are minimal
• A lot of money can be stored in one small, easy-to-store bar
• Precious metal can provide a hedge against inflation. For example, between 1971 and 1981, the U.S. dollar lost more than half its value, while silver prices rose nearly five times
• When economies fluctuate precious metal helps diversify and lower overall risk
• No matter what level of risk you as an investor wish to take, we recommend every portfolio diversify with 10-15% in precious metal
• If you want to take possession or have direct control over your assets, buy bullion coins or bars
• The economic indicators that affect the price of precious metal are different from, and often are opposed to, the indicators that determine the price of most common financial assets

"If you want to buy gold or silver bullion, I recommend calling my friends at Asset Strategies International (800-831-0007). That's where I buy my bullion. I've known owners Michael and Rich Checkan for more than a decade. They don't pay me a penny to recommend them in my pages. I simply find them honest and reasonable, and I know they've treated my subscribers fairly for years. Just to be completely clear - I don't care where you buy your bullion. Shop around. Get a good price. But if you've never bought bullion before, go with Michael or Rich Checkan. You can trust them."  - Porter Stansberry, Editor, Stansberry Research
