📊 Market Analysis — December 12, 2012
❓ 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
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Buy a fixed CAD amount of gold each month — say C$500. This strategy reduces the impact of short-term volatility and removes the stress of timing the market. Over 10+ years, DCA has historically produced returns close to the annual average gold price.
Portfolio Allocation: Most Canadian financial planners recommend allocating 5–15% of a diversified portfolio to gold and precious metals. This allocation provides downside protection during equity bear markets while maintaining growth potential during inflationary periods.
