so, grows in value over time. Put those businesses together in an index that reflects the U.S. economy, and you have the S&P 500.

Combined, these encompass every major sector of the U.S. economy, so an investment in the S&P Composite is an investment in the U.S. economy. So, we will, at times, have gold in our clients’ accounts, but we will not physically hold gold, and once the opportunity has left, we will sell it as well. I’m putting my clients’ money, as well as my money, on the U.S. economy. If I do well, I’ll be able to live through retirement but also be able to buy a nice piece of jewelry or a watch … possibly made of gold. P.S. We will have appraisers here on June 2 and 3 for the valuation and purchasing of coins and collections of coins. They are buyers and sellers of precious metals as well. Call now to reserve an appointed time! –Gary Mattson
