📊 Market Analysis — May 13, 2014
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ 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.
❓ Is shipping gold safe in Canada?
Major dealers ship via insured courier (Canada Post Xpresspost, Purolator) with full insurance coverage. All packages are discreetly labelled with no indication of contents. Free shipping thresholds typically range from C$200–C$500 depending on the dealer.
💡 Canadian Gold Investor Guide
Tax-Efficient Gold Investing: Maximize TFSA contributions first — all gold gains are 100% tax-free. Then use RRSP for tax-deductible contributions where gains are tax-deferred. Keep non-registered gold purchases for emergency reserves, as the capital gains inclusion rate is 50%.
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.
