INVESTOR ALERT: What To Know Before Buying Gold, Silver, Precious Metals or Mining Stocks

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Nov. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Selecting stocks is as much an art as it is science — and the same applies to gold and silver miners. To maximize potential gains and minimize risk, investors must be selective.

Whether doing individual research  or with the assistance of a broker/adviser, the following is an excerpt containing the key questions investors should seek answers for, according to Larry Edelson, of Weiss Education Services.

==>Does the mining company have too much debt? You don’t want a firm that’s loaded down with too much debt. This is especially true as interest rates begin to rise again. Rising interest rates are deadly for any company with too much debt.

==>Does the company engage in heavy forward selling? If the mining company is selling their future gold or silver production in the futures market at today’s prices, that alone wipes away — or at least limits — your profit potential.

==>What is the company’s average production cost per ounce of gold? In today’s market, I feel it should be no more than $750 an ounce.
