Our guest Dana Samuelson, a physical precious metals dealer, joins Host Robert Helms to compare gold and silver, discuss what drives their value, and look at how these metals differ from real estate when it comes to liquidity, stability, and wealth preservation. Tune in to learn more about the role physical precious metals can play in a diversified portfolio, and how real estate investors might think about balancing the strengths of one asset with the limitations of another.
