Yorkshire Bullion is a principal precious metals broker specializing in the buying and selling of physical precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium. The firm's customary 11-hour trading day allows clients from the East Coast to the West Coast, as well as Hawaii and Alaska, with the opportunity to transact business at convenient hours. Yorkshire Bullion is able to offer such extended market hours because of communications and connections with the major markets in Zurich, London, New York, Chicago, and Hong Kong. The ability to trade in world wholesale markets provides the firm with the opportunity to offer competitive retail prices to its clients. On TV and the radio, in newspapers and magazines, gold and silver have become the most talked about asset in the financial world today. Amidst the worst recession in generations, a frightening economic climate and world-wide chaos, precious metals have emerged as not only one of the safest havens but also as one of the best performing. Small wonder that nearly every respected investment firm recommends its clients own some precious metals in his or her portfolio. Precious metals provide an effective hedge against a $13 trillion national debt; a vulnerable dollar; looming inflation; an unreliable stock, bond, and real estate market; and political unrest all over the world. The firm provides three main investment tools - (1) physical delivery service of metals at the most competitive price straight to your door, (2) leverage program offering a sensible approach to increasing buying power, and (3) an IRA / 401K program for retirement planning.
