📊 Market Analysis — December 13, 2011
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I verify gold authenticity?
Reputable Canadian dealers like Kitco and Sprott Money sell only assayed products from LBMA-approved refiners. The Royal Canadian Mint includes anti-counterfeiting features on Maple Leaf coins including micro-engraved laser marks and radial lines visible under magnification.
❓ Can I sell gold back to dealers?
Yes, most Canadian dealers offer buyback programs. Kitco, Sprott Money, and SilverGoldBull all purchase gold from customers at competitive bid prices, typically 1–3% below spot price depending on product type and market conditions.
❓ What affects Canadian dealer premiums?
Premiums above spot price vary based on product type, weight, payment method, and market conditions. Bank wire transfers typically earn 1–2% lower premiums than credit card purchases. Larger orders (10+ oz) may qualify for volume discounts from most Canadian dealers.
💡 Canadian Gold Investor Guide
When to Buy and Sell Gold: Consider buying when gold-to-stock ratios are low and selling when gold exceeds your target allocation. Profit-taking near historical highs and reallocating to undervalued assets can lock in gains. Avoid panic selling during short-term dips — gold rewards patient holders.
Storage Considerations: Home safe (for holdings under C$50,000), bank safe deposit box (limited insurance), or allocated vault storage through dealers like Kitco or Sprott Money (institutional security, insured). Each option involves different cost, convenience, and risk trade-offs.
