4 Criteria for Best Gold Company | Touchpoint Update - YouTube

I'm Devlyn Steele Director of Education at Augusta  Precious Metals and this is a Touchpoint Update

as always remember to like this video and  subscribe for future updates before we get  

started today I just want to say how much we have  enjoyed creating these videos to help Americans  

understand the economy and gold and silver today  I'm going to focus on you the retirement saver  

more than likely you own a 401k ira annuities  or some other type of retirement account  

no matter what type of retirement account you  may have i'm sure that the recent economic news  

may have you feeling unsettled many of us are  as president Biden in a democratic congress  

are proposing budgets that will push national  deficits to all-time record-breaking highs  

when the economy is struggling often it means  gold and silver prices are strengthening  

every American has the right to add gold and  silver to the retirement savings and many  

Americans have chosen this path in fact the New  York Times reported in 2020 that about half of  

all americans were seriously thinking about buying  gold let's say you're one of the 50 percent who  

decide to take action you decide to add physical  gold and silver to your retirement savings  

how do you get the right information it's more  important than ever to find a company that you can  

trust with your physical gold and silver purchases  let's talk about what makes a good gold and silver  

provider I think we can distill it  down to four criteria number one  

choose a gold company that can prove its expertise  in precious metals number two choose a gold  

company that has a relationship based business  model and is clearly devoted to its customers

number three choose a gold company that is  transparent in all aspects of its business  

and finally number four you must choose a firm  that has an undeniable positive reputation  

so let's dig into these qualities a little  bit more first expertise this takes time  

and focus companies that focus only on precious  metals IRAs will be the highest quality providers  

they're not only knowledgeable about precious  metals but also understand retirement accounts  

the company should know in detail which metals  are allowed in an ira and it should have great  

connections with custodians and storage  facilities the second important quality  

is a strong relationship with customers  this is especially important in the current  

economic landscape to help you avoid landmines  your precious metals company by law cannot  

advise you but they should be able to provide  you with insight into the economy that could  

affect you they should also be willing to discuss  with you how to handle buybacks and distributions  

the third quality transparency this should show  up in all areas transparency is one of the most  

important things a gold company can provide their  customers for peace of mind Augusta must be doing  

something right because investopedia chose  Augusta Precious Metals as two 2021's best gold  

IRA company for transparent pricing and finally  the fourth important quality is a good reputation  

at Augusta we owe our customers a great debt  of gratitude hundreds have honored us with  

positive comments on websites such as Google My  Business Trustlink and Consumer Affairs this  

follows right along with the opinion of someone  you probably recognize Joe Montana the famous  

hall of fame quarterback he asked his advisors  to find the best gold company in the nation  

and they independently found Augusta and  recommended us now he's our official ambassador  

not to mention a customer of course so there  you have it the four categories that we suggest  

that you use to find a gold and silver ira  provider expertise relationship transparency and  

reputation so how do you ensure a company  has these qualities when you're ready
