Oxford Gold Group on Wilshire Blvd.

I looked up the people who worked there. All very young smooth talkers with marketing degrees, no investment experience at all. SCAMMERS.

People who got scammed will never get their money back.

I read most of the article, and I totally agree with your viewpoint. Buying Gold is like buying milk: you don't buy it online or over the phone!!!! You don't use a mysterious depositoty!!!! You go to the fu***ING store or LCS and purchase in person.

I am trying to have some sympathy for the victims, but it's difficult because they did it to themselves. These decisions are a complete lack of common sense, especially in today's [shucks] show world where the percentage and volume of crooked people is at an all time high

I don’t feel that sorry for someone gullible enough to give others gold to store. And I speak as someone who had about $186k in coins stolen from a storage locker in 2019.

Also, one company that could potentially benefit from this is A-Mark Precious Metals, as their company is publicly traded under the symbol AMRK. I’ve traded it many times over the past several years and made pretty good $. You do have to be patient, however, as it will do nothing for, say, 6-9 months or so before making a move back up.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

I watched the accompanying video. That guy has “mark” written all over him. Absolutely all of the red flags from Oxford Gold just brought this idiot deeper into the trap.

We all know the saying “Old enough to know better. Too young to care”, This guy was old enough that know better and too stupid to care.

Since it is California, let me finish with this. Anyone who has not yet escaped the asylum formerly known as California is too late.

Right you are. For nearly all people, the path to wealth takes time and effort.
