Pan American Metals of Miami has a strong team of traders and brokers available to assist clients wishing to invest in precious metals. "Gold has fascinated mankind for thousands of years," says Bill Hionas. "It has been used by artisans since the fourth millennium BC to craft beautiful and intricate artifacts. Now it attracts demand not only from craftsmen and jewelers but from investors who are purchasing gold as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation." There is considerable investment demand for gold from those investors looking for wealth generation and protection. Gold is durable and holds its value, unlike paper currencies that are only as good as the governments who issue them. Current concerns over national and international debt are driving investors towards gold and other precious metals and away from cash investments. Silver is often termed 'poor man's gold' as it provides a very accessible entry point into the precious metals market; trading at approximately 1/40 the price of gold. In times of economic crisis, silver can outperform gold as a safe-haven investment; in fact, silver has tripled in value over the last three years. Silver also sees extensive demand from industry.
