Will the Government Confiscate Your Gold?
Whenever I write about gold, I can be certain of two things.
First and foremost, I know that readership will be exceptionally high. The interest in gold, silver and other precious metals is as intense as I've ever seen.
And, second, I can be sure that, in the days that follow, I'll receive a slew of e-mails, phone calls and letters from folks asking some variation of the same three questions:
- What are the chances that the federal government will confiscate my gold?
- Can I put gold in my IRA?
- And how much gold should I hold?
The bottom line is that a lot of folks are investing in gold for the first time.
To give those newcomers a unique (and informed) perspective on these questions, I picked up the phone and called industry colleague Rich Checkan at Asset Strategies International (ASI), a precious-metals and foreign-exchange dealer that operates out of Rockville, Maryland … just down the highway from our own offices here in Baltimore.
ASI is a veteran player, having just celebrated its 30th anniversary, so I was certain that Rich and his staffers would have something of value to say on these topics.
On that point, I was right.
