The Best Ways to Buy, Store, and Sell Precious Metals: A Comparative Analysis
As an astute investor, you already understand that the need to own gold and silver becomes more pressing with each passing day. At first, a small stash of gold is held as a value-dense, portable, and easy to conceal hedge against any number of crisis scenarios: currency controls, bank holidays, civil uprisings, or a rapid spike in consumer prices. But as confidence in central banks, paper currencies, and government debt continues to erode, upping ones gold holding seems wise. Easy enough decision, yet questions about what to buy, and where and how to store it, soon become pressing as your hoard expands. The number of options is daunting and growing, so how does the precious metals investor know which are best? Thats an important question. Lacking skillful planning, you could find yourself with a coin menagerie that doesnt meet your particular needs... or selecting a storage facility with questionable integrity or poor oversight. You might overpay... or be stuck without an easy or cost-effective exit strategy. This special report is devoted to answering these questions. By the time youve finished reading it, youll be familiar with the options best suited to your circumstances, and know the steps you can and should take right away.

PHYSICAL
Physical gold is where everyone should start. After all, coins and bars have been the store of wealth for millennia not paper receipts fraught with counterparty risk. Bullion is real money, and every investor should own a meaningful amount of gold and silver bullion regardless of portfolio size.
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
PAPER, NON-REDEEMABLE
Paper forms of gold are abundant these days, broadly divided into those that are redeemable for physical metal and those that arent. Among the latter are exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. By far the largest and best known of these is the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE.GLD). Each GLD share represents approximately one-tenth of an ounce of gold held in the companys London vault and is priced accordingly. GLD offers easy exposure to the gold price through your equities broker, and the commissions will likely be lower than the purchase premiums for physical metal. If you simply want to play the trend and book some paper profits, this is a convenient way to do it. However, there are caveats. Theoretically, shares can be converted into physical metal, but the conditions attached make that all but impossible for the individual investor, and the company reserves the right to settle requests for physical delivery in cash. In addition, the rather opaque wording in the companys prospectus has critics questioning whether some of the trusts underlying assets might be paper gold instead of bullion (the company denies this). And finally, the companys operating expenses are paid by selling bullion, so the gold
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Gold funds can be part of a precious metal investment strategy. However, they are not substitutes for physical ownership. PAPER, REDEEMABLE
Many gold dealers offer gold held in a pooled account, and two ownership structures are available: allocated and unallocated. Both offer delivery of the physical metal. An unallocated account means you dont have title to any specific coins or bars, but instead have fractional ownership of the total pool of metal together with other investors. Allocated accounts mean you own specific coins and bars within the total pool of metal. If you intend to regularly trade in and out of gold and never plan to take delivery, pooled accounts might make sense for part of your portfolio. The metal is purchased for a smaller premium than for physical, and most vendors offer guaranteed buyback that makes selling your metal quick and easy. Unallocated accounts tend to be the cheapest purchase option and often come with low or zero storage fees. Vendor reputation is critical, as the relationship is based on trust that the metal will be there should you opt for delivery, and thats not a certainty since you have no clear title to specific property (here, too, contract terms may permit the dealer to elect a cash payout in certain circumstances). Also, opting for delivery from a pooled account requires a fabrication fee. The fee and fabrication delays can be substantial depending on market conditions. A third option is a fully segregated account where specific lots of coins and/or bars are held in your name. No fractional ownership. No pooling. A segregated account does not incur delivery fabrication fees, but storage charges are typically very high.

Storage Options
IN HOME
One option is back yard burial (properly sealed PVC pipe is a popular choice). Subterranean gold is fairly secure, and it keeps your metal close at hand for fast access. Drawbacks include amnesia dont forget where X marks the spot and nosy neighbors. Best that you do some regular digging in the yard so the neighbors dont think twice about your new gardening hobby. And dont forget to tell one trusted person the location of your cache. A home safe is another option. One thats built into your house and concealed is best. Otherwise, get something

OFFSITE
A bank safe deposit box is the traditional storage solution for people whose holdings stop short of 400-ounce bars. Theyre usually close, relatively convenient, and generally safe from thieves. But as with every option, theyre not risk-free. Safe deposit box contents are not insured against fire, theft, or natural disasters like tornadoes and floods; if your gold is stolen or borne aloft on a high wind, youre out of luck. If the bank goes belly up, or a bank holiday is declared, it may be difficult or entail long delays to regain access to your box. In the event of a new government confiscation (such as happened in 1933), safe deposit boxes could be frozen. Once your gold holding outgrows your safe deposit box or the amount you hold signals its time to diversify, the next step is to consider the most secure storage of all: a private, precious-metals vaulting facility. There are a number of private vaults in the US. Occasionally, bullion dealers will offer storage for metal purchased through them at one of the vaults, relieving you of the necessity of physically handling the goods. These are all viable options, and you can research them to determine if theyre a good fit for you. But eventually, anyone with a significant amount of gold will come to realize that keeping it all in one place means assuming serious risks. When that day comes for you, we recommend diversifying your holdings by moving a portion of them outside your political jurisdiction.
Internationalization
First off, under no circumstance do we advise that you attempt to carry gold coins or bullion across a border. While it could go smoothly and it is legal the risks are too high. We know of numerous stories of travelers whose gold or silver was confiscated by an aggressive or ignorant customs agent. US federal government rules and regulations are murky, to say the least and far too complicated to go into here. Dont forget that the destination country will have its own set of regulations that control the importation of gold, too. And, of course, if anyone sees your metal, you become a prime theft target. No personal physical transport is your best bet. There are a host of reasons to consider holding precious metal in a foreign location. First among them is to achieve jurisdictional diversification. Keeping your assets in one country, subject to the whims of a single government, poses the greatest threat to your wealth today. Going global now with your assets helps mitigate four

Diversify internationally, but seek ways to maintain confidentiality and minimize complexity.

One caveat: HAA does not hold the advantage that use of a foreign supplier would i.e., your account could become subject to seizure by a US court or agency, whereas that process is much more difficult if your metal is held by a native company in a foreign country. However, if your asset-protection priorities change, you can take delivery at a foreign location of your choice.

The Hard Assets Alliance is an industry association of well-known and trusted economic and investment research firms that have as a core mandate to help clients and readers better understand prevailing economic trends and how to invest. After doing their own due diligence on SmartMetals and concluding that it truly is a breakthrough in how investors should buy, sell, and store precious metals, they agreed to participate in an alliance that has been formed for the specific purpose of spreading the word about this innovation. At this moment, members include Casey Research, Sovereign Society, Agora Financial, Mauldin Economics, and International Man and the list is literally growing every day. In exchange for specific services rendered as members of the Alliance, these firms receive variable compensation from the Hard Assets Alliance, LLC, the company that owns the SmartMetals trading platform, but because its low-cost structure is a major feature of the program, such commissions are very modest and do not affect the prices paid by clients.
Q Q
17
Okay, lets talk price. How is the pricing of my purchases or sales established?
When you create a new order, we communicate electronically with our supplier network to get real-time pricing for the metal, quantity, and selection youve chosen. We have no fewer than four suppliers in each region in which we offer storage/sales, and their offers are compared against each other to provide you with the best price available in that region. Your buy price is presented on the order confirmation screen and is only locked in when you subsequently submit your order.
How competitive are the prices available through the SmartMetals account?
Extremely. When you take into account the flexibility the international storage and delivery options that your SmartMetals account is allocated and not a pool or paper gold the convenience and competitive
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q
All prices are updated continuously in real time during market hours. That way you can be assured when you place an order that you never pay more than the price you are quoted. Orders placed outside market hours are automatically converted to an under or limit order, and so when trading opens once again, you can be certain youll never pay more than the quoted price.
Storage rates depend on the quantity of metals you wish to store the larger the amount of metals, the lower the fees. Regardless, at any level they are very competitive, ranging from 0.5% to 0.7% per year for gold, and 0.6% to 0.8% for silver. Storage costs are the same in all of our vaults.
Annual fees are billed quarterly and automatically withdrawn from your cash account. If no cash is present, you will be notified. If you subsequently fail to respond to requests to pay your storage fees in a timely matter (and dont worry, theres a 30-day grace period), then, as you would expect, the Hard Assets Alliance retains the right to redeem the amount of your holdings required to pay for storage.
18
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
With your SmartMetals account, you can buy gold, silver, platinum, or palladium in a variety of weights and mints, either in the form of good-delivery LBMA bars or sovereign coins. Please note, however, that due to local market considerations, certain purchase/storage locations may not offer coins. For example, by tradition, in Singapore almost all holdings of precious metals are in the form of gooddelivery bars ranging in size from one ounce to 400 ounces, and so no coins are available. In the streamlined ordering process, you will be shown which metals and purchase options are available to you in each of our international locations.
Q Q
We offer individual, joint, corporate, partnership, sole proprietorship, LLC, and trust accounts.
Yes, to purchase from the Hard Assets Alliance, all customers must first sign up for and fund a SmartMetals account. Like an online brokerage account, your available cash balance, which you can add to or withdraw from at any time, allows you to place orders online 24 hours a day, in multiple markets around the world. Once you open your account and it is funded, there is no rush to buy metals. You can leave the funds in your account as long as you wish, for example, until the opportunity knocks with the next pullback in metals prices, then execute your order immediately at that time.
Q

There is a modest one-time membership fee of $35, which helps keep your costs of buying, selling, and storing as low as possible.

How quickly can I begin trading with the Hard Assets Alliance?
Opening an account is fast and convenient through the Hard Assets Alliances secure online portal. Once your application is approved usually within 48 hours, and typically much less you can remit funds and begin trading.
You can fund your account by check or bank wire; ACH transfers will be available very soon. Funding information will be sent to you with the email notifying you that your account is open, or you may access it at www.hardassetsalliance.com, our official website. If you fund your account with a check, please be sure to write your Hard Assets Alliance account number on the check.
To help keep your costs low by keeping our operating expenses down, each order to buy metals must meet the minimum requirement of $5,000 for delivery or $10,000 for storage. You may establish a SmartMetals account with any size minimum deposit, and add funds over time if you choose until your cash balance meets the minimum purchase requirements.
What if I want to invest but dont have enough money to buy an ounce of gold right now?
There is no minimum deposit required to establish your account with the Hard Assets Alliance, only for purchases. Therefore, you can open your account and fund it over time if youd like, such as with a monthly direct deposit from another account. By opening your account now, you ensure it will be ready when you are.
We do not charge sales tax. However, if you are a United States citizen, it is your obligation to report purchases and pay sales tax in at least 21 states. You may also be responsible for taxes on any realized gains made in your positions, depending on the type of account youve chosen. You should consult your tax professional to underhttp://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q
No. VAT is not applicable for metal going into storage or delivered to a US address. However, if you have your metals delivered to an overseas address, VAT may apply, depending on local laws and the storage location your order was sent from. Be sure to consult local tax laws before taking delivery.
Your transactions will be posted to your account immediately upon placing an order, at the amount that you saw when placing the order. In most cases, orders are settled within two business days.
What if I buy today and the price goes up or down before my metal is shipped?
With a SmartMetals account, your price is locked at the time you buy. Our network of wholesale dealers and refiners guarantee the prices they provide, and thus you will not pay any more than what was on your confirmation screen when you placed your order. If you place your order outside normal trading hours, your order will be entered as a dollar value order (as opposed to quantity) and will be filled upon opening of the market. For example, if at 10 p.m. you place an order for one-ounce bars worth $50,000, the order will be filled the next morning upon market open with the maximum numbers of bars possible, not to exceed $50,000.
Q

How long from the time I buy until the bar is stored in the vault of my choice?
Typically, its in the vault one business day after your trade is settled.

Q Q Q Q
Where does the Hard Assets Alliance purchase its precious metals?
When you buy metals for delivery or storage, youll be asked to choose a region in which to purchase them. Before you choose a region for a purchase, you can review current prices for all regions side-by-side to help ensure you are getting the best price possible at that time. These prices are sourced from at least four wholesale dealers or directly from refiners in that local region, and the price shown is the average of current prices. You will be given confirmation of the best local prices for your selection before placing your order.
Metals purchased in one region can only be stored in that region; however, you can take delivery from any region with minimal restrictions. For example, if you buy bars for storage in Zurich, you must store them in Zurich. Then you can have them shipped to your address of record, or you can pick them up in Zurich. You cannot buy bars in Zurich and have them shipped to London for storage.
Funded accounts with the Hard Assets Alliance do not expire. So long as the account is in good standing, with a cash balance or metals in storage, your account remains open and ready for your immediate use, whether its been two weeks, two months, or two years since your last trade.
Good question, but regrettably we cannot accept funding in the form of physical metals. The primary reason for this policy is that we deal only in the highest-quality and most liquid precious metals formats sovereign coins and good-delivery bars where the chain of custody is unbroken. If we were, as an example, to accept bars from outside of the custodial system, then, in addition to the cost of dealing with the inbound metal from private sources, we would have to go through a process that could even involve the time and cost of assaying the metals before being able to accept them. In short, the SmartMetals platform is streamlined to provide a highly efficient solution for anyone looking for the ultimate advantages in safety, convenience, and cost. To allow the injection of metals from outside of our

How is the Hard Assets Alliance different from all the other companies that deal in precious metals?
Flexibility, ease of use, and complete storage security are the hallmarks of the Hard Assets Alliance. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you can buy gold, silver, platinum, or palladium in bars or coins, and store your purchase in your choice of locations worldwide. Or you can have your purchase shipped to you anywhere in the world within two days. Either way, you are the owner of a precise and specific amount of metal. When its stored in our vault partners facilities, we are simply the steward of your property. And when it comes time to sell, with just a few mouse clicks your metals become cash in your account.
I am interested in internationalizing my precious metals assets, but I see that my Hard Assets Alliance account is technically based in the US. Should that concern me?
The seamless, highly secure platform used by the Hard Assets Alliance currently requires that accounts be technically domiciled in the United States, though your precious metals can be stored in insured vaults outside of the US including New York, Salt Lake City, Zurich, London, or Melbourne with more to come in the near future. While we are currently working through the considerable technical and regulatory challenges of also offering non-US accounts, the current US account requirement should be of little or no concern to anyone. If you are a US citizen or resident, the fact that it is a US account will save you a huge amount of time and hassle complying with the latest US government regulations that require detailed reporting on foreign-held assets. However, if you ever become at all concerned about your US account registration for example, in the unlikely event that the US government began signaling it might again want to nationalize gold holdings a quick call or a couple of clicks from you will set in motion the transfer of your metals, or the proceeds from the sale of your metals, to the destination of your choice, including one outside of the US. All transfers, either in physical metals or the proceeds from a sale of those metals, will take place within two business days. If you were really concerned that gold was going to be targeted, you could also log on to sell your gold holdings and replace them with another metal (platinum or palladium).
23 http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q
If you are not a citizen or resident of the United States, no problem. US regulations require that we establish the identity of all account holders, whether or not they are US citizens.
Its simple and intuitive. If you can trade using an online broker or place an order on Amazon, youll have absolutely no problem buying and selling metals with the Hard Assets Alliance.
Absolutely. We have bonded traders available by telephone from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST weekdays, excluding market holidays, and they will gladly take your buy or sell order. Call toll free at (877) 727-7387 (international calls: 1-602-626-3022). There is no fee for this service.
Selling
Q
24
By default, the proceeds of any sale are deposited in your core account. From there, you may use the funds to purchase other assets or have them sent to you via check, wire or, in the very near future, ACH electronic transfer to another bank account of your choosing.
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q Q Q
Trades can take up to two full business days to settle. Once your trade has settled, you can then wire money out of your account or request a check sent to an account at a different institution. ACH transfers will be available soon.
Your final price is confirmed the moment you submit your sell order.
If I store outside the US and I sell, what currency will I be paid in?
All trades are settled in US dollars, regardless of the region your gold is stored in. If you prefer to settle in a different currency, you have the option to take delivery of your gold and sell it to a local dealer who can provide that service.
I am a US citizen. If I make a purchase and store it outside the US, when I sell, can I have the proceeds deposited into an offshore bank and in the currency of my choice?
Payments are made to customers in US dollars. If you have an existing foreign bank account, we can wire the funds to that bank. That account should be set up in advance in the standing wire instructions for your account.
When you buy from the Hard Assets Alliance, whether its coins or bars, gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, the exact amount you ordered is bought on your behalf, attributed to your account, and placed in the vault at the location you chose when you ordered. If you bought serial-numbered bars, youll be given the serial numbers of those bars. The metals you buy and store with us are no less yours than if we had shipped them to you.

http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q Q Q
26
No. All of your assets are fully accounted for in the vaults, and the Hard Assets Alliance and its partners do not use pooling, margin, or any other method to leverage the value of your holdings.
No. We only provide LBMA-certified bars and widely recognized sovereign bullion.
We only buy through LBMA-approved dealers and refiners with whom we have long-standing relationships, and who are well established in the industry as dependable suppliers. All bars are LBMA Good Delivery certified the most liquid bars that exist, recognized and accepted worldwide.
Shipping
Can I store my products now and get delivery later?
Yes. You can request that any or all of your stored holdings be shipped to you at any time.
Shipping costs vary depending on the value and weight of the requested delivery, along with its origin region and destination. Quotes for shipping are provided prior to confirming.
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q Q
What happens if the gold or silver being shipped to me is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised during shipment? Does shipping cost include insurance?
All shipments are insured for their full transactional value (shipping and insurance is included in the price if you selected delivery at the time of purchase). If your shipment is damaged in any way or does not arrive, contact customer service immediately and a replacement shipment will be arranged as soon as possible.
Special arrangements may be made for armored delivery for large or high-value shipments. Please contact customer service to inquire about custom delivery options.
We deliver only to the address of record on your account, so you would need to change the address of record in order to take delivery in another location. You can change this address by logging into your account, after which, for security purposes, an email notification would go out to your email of record notifying you of the change in your account. In any case, someone must sign for the package when it is delivered.
Storage Facilities
Q
27
Currently, we offer storage facilities owned and operated by the worlds largest and most respected vaulting
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q
The contents of each vault we use are audited every day by the vault owner, and the Hard Assets Alliance reconciles its report with its internal records. Once every quarter, the vault is audited by one of the Big Four international audit firms. An audit report of your own holdings will be sent to you directly from the auditor each quarter.
The vaults we use are run by the worlds most recognized security professionals, and all are approved by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). These vaults house gold for international banks, governments, and others who require absolute security and complete auditability, as we do. All have round-the-clock armed physical security and state-of-the-art electronic protection. In addition, all vaults are insured for the full value of their contents including, of course, your deposit. You can sleep well knowing your wealth is absolutely safe, insured and, if you choose, outside the United States.
Q Q
28
Unfortunately, we cannot accept storage of outside metals at this time as we cannot ensure their authenticity without considerable effort. We are evaluating this much-requested feature for possible launch sometime in the future, but the decision and timeline are not finalized.
Not at this time. Instead, you would simply sell in one location and buy in another.
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q Q Q
29
If I buy coins and bars, how will you know which ones are mine?
If you purchase bars that have serial numbers, you will be provided with the serial numbers of those in your account. Bullion is managed in shared storage and not tracked by individual coins. However, the full balance of all accounts is kept in the vault at all times. Your full holdings are completely accounted for at all times.
Yes, you can have metals stored in any of the vault locations we provide. You will have a choice each time you make a purchase.
For security reasons, no one except authorized representatives who have been thoroughly screened are allowed into the facilities. This includes only facility operations personnel and independent auditors who meet the security requirements of the facility operators.
My Account
Are customers cash accounts FDIC insured?
Cash in your account is not FDIC insured, and it does not bear interest. Your metal holdings, however, are insured for their full value. Cash in your account is held in a Hard Assets Alliance subaccount of Gold Bullion International.
You may make regular deposits into your account via check or, coming soon, ACH transfer. However, minimum order requirements exist $5,000 for metals you wish delivered directly, and $10,000 for metals you wish
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q
No.
Your order is processed and shipped so quickly (its put out to bid almost instantly) that canceling an order is not possible after it has been placed.
If you sell, the IRS requires us to report the gross proceeds on Form 1099.
Q Q
30
Can I trade the silver in my account for gold and vice versa?
In order to exchange one metal for another, you must sell the first holding and allow the transaction to settle, and then purchase the other holding. At this time, there is no direct swap available.
In general, we suggest you purchase the denomination that sells best in your chosen market. All markets offer bars, which are generally considered to have the best liquidity internationally.
http://www.hardassetsalliance.com
Q Q Q
Could my metals be worth more in one region than another depending on the local economy?
Do you offer any way to short the price of gold and silver?
No. The Hard Assets Alliance only supplies physical metals, not futures or options contracts. There is no leverage, margin, pooling, or other risk to your physical metal holdings.
