Exploring and Investigating BullionVault

In the process of trying to learn more about investing in precious metals, I typed in "transferring my gold bullion in my IRA to my credit union safety deposit box" into Google. At the bottom of the first page of hits was a link to Jason Hamlin's goldstockbull.com blog about buying physical gold and silver. I would like to purchase some precious metals in my Roth IRA, but I am also not opposed to owning them outside an IRA. So I clicked on Jason's BullionVault link and decided that Bullion Vault might be a good option for investing. I'll keep you posted further on my experience with Bullion Vault.

What' going on here?

This blog is intended to be a place where I can share my experiences and encourage a forum of peers who want to talk about publicly traded stocks. I'm a complete novice and I don't believe there are any stupid questions. I hope to learn more about the stock market, share with others, and encourage all Americans to become more financially literate. I think peer-to-peer networking and the internet helps democratize Wall Street. The big bankers will most likely always have some advantages over us regular folks, but I would like to learn to manage my own investments and share what I learn with others.
