Rich Checkan from ASI is our guest today on The Expat Money Show, and I'm really excited for our listeners to get to know him and understand why buying gold is so important. He is a very good friend of mine and I promise, you are in for a real treat.  

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

  • Price war with China
  • Election Year
  • Insurance, using Gold
  • Did Gold 'Do its job'?
  • Fabrication of the metal
  • How DO you buy gold?

As if these topics aren't enough to fill a fast-paced hour, Mikkel and Rich wrap it up with:
  • Silver being for the growth
  • Platinum, palladium and other precious metals
  • Inflation/Deflation and Stagflation

Quote of the day: "Holding onto a bad investment doesn't make it a good investment"

CONCLUSION

Wow is all I can say. This is a really great episode with my friend Rich Checkan. If you don't know a ton about gold, where to buy and when to buy, this is a must-listen-to episode. We talk a lot about gold here on The Expat Money Show and I'm sure we will continue as this is such an important topic, especially with the uncertainty of Covid-19 and the FED debasing currencies around the world at such an alarming rate.  

Mentioned in this episode:

Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch It

Fiat is failing. Banks are cracking. And smart investors are moving their gold offshore—outside the system. I’ve partnered with a fully insured private vault in the Caribbean where you can buy, store, and protect physical gold… legally and securely. The entire account opening is done online—fast, private, and no nonsense. If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, get the details now at ExpatMoney.com/gold

Offshore Gold & Silver

Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
