Hi everyone.

Are you looking for an investment during times of inflation? Are you interested in diversifying your investment portfolio? Or maybe you’re just looking for investment alternatives for when the stock or bond markets aren’t doing so well?

In any case, how much do YOU know about precious metals as an investment?  We’ll cover all of this and more on this episode, #108. of Looking Forward: Opportunities for Job, Career, Business and Investment Seekers.

My guest expert, Patrick Yip, will share his expertise on such things as: (1) what precious metals you might want to consider investing in, (2) why there’s been an upward global trend in the purchase of precious metals, (3) what makes precious metals a great investment opportunity for some people, and (4) a few of the ways you can invest in precious metals, should you decide to do so.  And, in true Looking Forward fashion, you’ll also hear tips on how to choose the right company to do business with when you make an investment in precious metals.
