We then delve into current market conditions and how they may be affecting the price of gold and silver. We also discuss the potential risks and returns associated with investing in gold and silver, as well as how investing in precious metals can provide diversification benefits for an investment portfolio.

    Are you currently living in or thinking about moving to Louisiana from out-of-state? Are you asking yourself, "Why move to Louisiana?" Or, "Is Louisiana a good state to move to?"

    In this episode, we discuss a concept that may very well revolutionize how we look at real estate. Imagine if real estate was a liquid asset. Imagine if you could invest in real estate for as little as $100 in ANY market that you choose, or if you could get up to 5% of the value of your home without taking out a loan of home equity line of credit! All of this is possible with Hedge Homes
