Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very informative
If you know squat about precious metal investing, this the book. Written in a clear and concise manner and with a very simple language. Great book!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A Shameful Edition for Dummies Franchise...
Author needs to cut the "I" comments that's just extra fluff to an already tiresome 300 pages.

Very little technical, cautions, and tips in each of the chapters to assist readers.

There's ... Read More

This book also shows you past history on the performance of the Metals. Wish I knew about investing back in 2000. But don't we all. All I can say is I will be investing for the ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Simplistic, too many errors, bad advice and mixed data
It's easy to get mixed feelings about this book. It tries to cram everything together, history, categories of precious metals, reasons for booms & busts, strategies for investing, etc. It also tries to simplify and explain things in everyday language - it is a 'dummies' book after all. That's all commendable.

However, somewhere in the process the book became full of errors like "gold is good in times of inflation" or that gold has intrinsic value of so-and-so (it has cultural store of wealth ... Read More
