Who we are and what we do
bedrockreport.us is owned and operated by Bedrock Report. We publish educational information about gold, silver, and precious metals investing, including precious metals IRAs. We are not a precious metals dealer and we are not owned by one. We are not an IRA custodian, trustee, or depository. We do not sell, hold, store, ship, or take custody of precious metals, and we do not execute any transaction involving precious metals.
If you ask us to connect you with a precious metals provider, or request a guide or more information through the Site, by email, or by phone, we may refer you to a third party precious metals provider. That provider may send you information and contact you. Any purchase you make is between you and that provider, on its terms, and we are not a party to it.
We are not advisers and this is not advice
Although we write about precious metals and provide related educational content, we are not licensed or registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, attorneys, certified public accountants, or other financial services professionals. Nothing on this Site, in our guides or checklists, in our answers to your questions, or in our emails is investment, tax, legal, or financial advice, and none of it is personalized to your circumstances. You should consult your own financial, tax, and legal professionals before making any decision.
What our content is, and what it is not
Our guides, comparisons, checklists, and any questions we ask you are general educational information. They are not a recommendation to buy or sell anything, not a suitability determination, and not a substitute for professional advice. They do not consider your complete financial picture, your other holdings, your obligations, your tax position, or your goals beyond what you tell us. Content suggesting that gold or silver may fit a situation like yours is not a statement that any purchase is appropriate for you, nor does it constitute any recommendation or financial advice.
How we are compensated
We are compensated through a referral fee paid by the precious metals provider we refer you to. That compensation does not come from you and does not change what you pay. The referral fee is not based on whether you elect to make a purchase from the precious metals provider, and we do not receive any commission based on any purchase you make. Our compensation creates a financial interest in your requesting information and being referred, and you should read our educational content with that in mind.
About the third party precious metals provider we refer you to
We do not supervise the third party precious metals provider, we do not control what it offers you or what it charges, and we are not responsible for its conduct, its products, or any agreement you enter into with it. You should evaluate any third party precious metals provider yourself before doing business with it.
Risks of buying precious metals
Precious metals, like any investment, carry risk, including the risk of loss, and are not a suitable investment for everyone. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Precious metals may appreciate, depreciate, or hold their value depending on a variety of factors, and prices can move sharply over short periods. Precious metals do not pay interest or dividends.
Anyone considering the purchase of precious metals should carefully evaluate the associated risks and the full acquisition costs before purchasing.
It is our view that precious metals should be considered a long-term holding. While you can generally sell at any time, you should be prepared and willing to hold for several years. No one can guarantee that any precious metals you purchase will appreciate at all, or appreciate enough to produce a profit above the premium, markup, commissions, fees, or storage costs associated with them, whether purchased for direct delivery or inside a precious metals IRA.
Precious metals IRAs
A precious metals IRA is a self-directed individual retirement account and is subject to the same rules and limits as other retirement accounts, including rules on eligibility, contributions, distributions, required minimum distributions, and penalties. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and can change. Custodian, storage, and administration fees apply. Nothing on this Site is tax advice, and you should confirm the tax consequences of any transaction with your own tax professional before you act.
Your decision
The decision to purchase or sell precious metals, with funds inside or outside a retirement account, and the decision as to which products to purchase or sell, is yours alone, and should be made subject to your own research, prudence, and judgment.
Third party information and forward looking statements
Our content may include information, figures, or statistics obtained from third party sources believed to be reliable, but we do not guarantee their accuracy or completeness. Any statements about future events, prices, economic conditions, or performance are opinions and expectations only, and actual results may differ.
