Joe ThomasHOST
um that deals in gold and silver and and i imagine they're going to be a little busy this monday as they send out orders placed because uh gold took a a big discount on saturday at least from what i saw saturday morning james luck is on with us uh from jcsgold.com fourth generation how are you doing uh james

James LuckGUEST
i'm doing well joe and you're right gold and silver really took a little bit of a discount there going into the weekend uh i'm sure Our clients have took advantage of that discount because this morning gold silver popped back up just slightly.

James LuckGUEST
Gold is up about half a percent back above $4,000 at $4,017 and silver is up about two tenths of a percent to $54.

James LuckGUEST
So finding some support there, you know, that's been typical for gold over the past couple weeks.

James LuckGUEST
So as soon as you see that little dip, you can place your order and lock in your price there.

Joe ThomasHOST
And that's part of why I like what you guys do at JCS Gold, because it's advice about where each individual caller may be in their journey, because the answer for me is not an answer for thee, as I say.

You're getting an even better price on gold and silver today because they're at a low discount.

James LuckGUEST
The gold and silver have a breakout run and then they kind of consolidate and chop sideways in a channel and then drop and find support and same thing, kind of build that base, which gives our clients a lot of opportunities to take advantage of these lower prices because Our prices at jcsgold.com automatically update in real time with the gold and silver spot price.

Joe ThomasHOST
I think there's charts that would be indicative of this at jcsgold.com in your transparency promise to everyone that we're due kind of almost if history is any sort of indication that we've been plateaued for a while and we're probably looking at something coming in the near future in an increase.

Joe ThomasHOST
In the world of gold and silver investing, James, you guys have seen a lot of these U.N. meetings and a lot of these stomping of feet and standing behind podiums demanding somebody must do something about this immediately, immediately, immediately, haven't you?

James LuckGUEST
that's exactly right joe we really have seen it all over the years uh and and we've been we've been here along for the ride of the roller coaster of gold and silver prices but you know the main thing is that when you zoom out you see that that roller coaster trends up over time uh gold and silver if you zoom out to a multi-year graph you can see that even though it has ups and down days and weeks and months it does trend up over time because it all has to do with the shrinking value of the dollar.

James LuckGUEST
And growing inflation increases the value of gold and silver, just like real estate or any other commodity like that.

James LuckGUEST
Gold is down just slightly today, a slight discount here down just a third of a percent to $4,330.

James LuckGUEST
Silver is down about just about half of a percent here this morning to $65.57. And that's why we always tell our clients, you know, to just buy your allotted amount once every two weeks, once a month, whatever your budget allows.

James LuckGUEST
That way you don't have to try to play the game of when to get in the optimal time.

Joe ThomasHOST
And that's, you know, the experience I was trying to bring out to you is that long view, that ability to look beyond the horizon is very important in any kind of investment, but certainly something like gold and silver where it's, what do you call it, stacking silver, you know, where you're buying this stuff not so much to day trade it, but to build on it and to build a foundation of it, right?
