Risky business

Michelle Henderson, a talent agency owner in Los Angeles, Calif. understands the stakes when it comes to investing. "As an agent I work in a commission-based world, and have to invest in both people and ideas all the time," she says. "Though I'd had bad experiences with stock investments in the past, I knew I would eventually find something that would work for me. I invested in a diversified metals portfolio made up of palladium, silver and gold, and earned a profit of 38% with the palladium alone. Staying focused on making money, and following World Financials advice, I was able to earn an above-average return and greatly increase the overall value of my assets safely."

Work with established companies, five years in business is good, ten even better. Don't bother with firms that badger you with telemarketing offers or apply high-pressure sales tactics. Avoid paying high commissions too. Some brokers have layers of fees, through which they earn more money then they do investing on behalf of customers. There are also companies out there that will not buy metal back. Stay away from them as well.

"Check references and Better Business Bureau ratings", Lubaszka adds. "Deal with a company that takes an active interest in doing business with you. World Financial, for example, offers a five-star customer satisfaction guarantee. If questions are not answered or we fail to respond to a prospect's call or email within 24 hours, that person receives a one ounce silver American Eagle coin free of charge. A financial advisor's job is to ease the investment process, and to insure that customers get the most for their money. Good advisers are merely good, but the best are worth their weight in gold."
