Precious metals markets involve risk to investment principal and can be volatile. Purchasing precious metals often involves a degree of risk that makes them unsuitable for certain individuals. You should carefully consider the suitability of precious metals as a personal financial choice before taking any decisions that may affect your situation.

You should always conduct your own research and due diligence and obtain professional advice before making any investment decision.
