We've just been relaxing here at the house for the most part. Ruth is spending a lot of time sorting through and scanning old slide photographs that were her fathers.
Of course most of them are destined for the trash, because nobody wants to keep an old photo of trees and a lake. But any photo of identifiable people is worth keeping. She is digitizing and labeling them for future generations. So much easier than having them in a shoebox where nobody ever looks at them.
We've been going out for our 5 kms (3 mile) power walk on a regular basis. But it's not that exciting on the route we walk directly from the house, and it's totally flat. So sometimes we drive somewhere different just for a change of scenery. The other day we went to the Rideau Valley Conservation area at Beryl Gaffney Park...
It's a little prettier than just walking around the neighborhood.
Today, we are meeting some friends for lunch. The last time we saw these people was when we were in Kazakhstan!

I am interested in gold and silver, but i wonder if I'm too late in the game. A widow, inherited a part of dad's IRA, mostly stocks, plus my husband's IRA (401K?), which appears to be like mutual fund. The one from the stocks gives me a small yearly check, $3K about. Most shares are from where he retired which usually does well. I don't trust all the ads out there. You seem to have done your homework, so my questions would be: How can I buy stock without the guys who service the accounts above? OR should I sell some of the stock and invest with the G&S mining companies thru my broker of the stock acct? How much should it cost to buy the stocks and is it cheaper to..... do you go through an app or something on your computer? I would also like to have some physical gold & silver as our state has made it legal to buy or sell with it. The broker I have not talked to in such a while that it may be someone else by now, so of course I would ask how much per share(?) it would cost to buy and sell each of those? Or is it a transaction fee? I live off of my husband's SS and don't touch anything. The accounts have increased over time, not as fast as gold. I keep thinking it will all disappear like a thief in the night. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've done the research as it applies to my own risk tolerance and investment portfolio. And, I am not an investment advisor so I can't legally give you advice. I can only tell you what I would do if I were in your shoes. And because I don't know enough details about your assets, lifestyle, goals, or risk tolerance it's difficult to help in that way. With regards to gold and silver, I buy it through a website (or app) called bullionvault. Just google it and it will come up. But, you have to open an account with them and be able to transfer funds to them. I do all of the transferring through another app called Wise. With regards to the gold and silver miners, you simply need a self directed trading account through any of the major banks or any of the newer trading apps such as WealthSimple.
