Why Buy Precious Metals from APMEX?
APMEX, the leading Precious Metals retailer in the United States, understands the needs of Gold and Silver investors. Now celebrating 15 years in business, APMEX distinguishes itself through exceptional customer service, unmatched product quality and options and a brain trust of resources to help investors develop their ideal investment portfolio.
Although Precious Metals can be part of a balanced portfolio, APMEX understands this investment isn’t for everyone. It may not suit those who prefer to see their wealth confined purely to numbers on a page. Thrill-seekers may be disappointed to find that Gold and Silver prices don’t fluctuate wildly at the whim of global stock markets, as many factors are involved in Precious Metals pricing. Unlike traders of other buy-today-sell-tomorrow commodities, investors in Gold and Silver have been known to pass down their collections to future generations. They understand the unique value of an investment they can hold.

How are Gold and Silver prices determined? A number of factors are taken into consideration. Precious Metals prices are influenced by current events, market speculation, currency values, supply and demand and buying power. But rest assured that regardless of these factors, Precious Metals retain intrinsic value as a tangible and fungible commodity.
