This course will be delivered over 13 one-hour lectures, there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion. Participants may also request private consulting, in which case an extra charge of EUR 250 per hour would apply for a minimum of a one-hour consultation.
Please note that Session IV will also feature a panel discussion on the gold and silver basis: The Power of the Basis – Forgotten Tool of Investing in Gold and Silver. Moderator: Tom Szabo of www.silveraxis.com, one of the world’s foremost experts on the gold and silver basis and a member of GSUL research team. Please note that GSIL is the only forum where you can learn about the basis. Information on the basis and its uses is generally not available to the public except at exorbitant private consulting fees.
