Buying Gold? Watch for These 3 Red Flags

Yesterday, we laid out why gold beats crypto for real-world resilience. Today, we’re talking about something just as critical—how to buy smart. Scammers are flooding the market as prices rise, hoping you’re too excited (or too rushed) to notice the traps.

Rule #1: If it’s “too good to be true,” it is. Stay away from dealers offering gold below market price. 

Rule #2: Watch for pressure tactics—legit sellers won’t push you to “act now or miss out.” 

Rule #3: Always verify authenticity and delivery timelines. Your metals should be real, allocated, and in your hands—fast. Stick with trusted sources, and keep your stack solid.

Tomorrow, we’ll spotlight why younger Americans are turning to gold—and what it means for the future of freedom-focused finance.
