First time buying palladium in an IRA. Pretty nervous, honestly. My husband always handled all the investing stuff when he was alive, and now that I'm taking the reins, it feels like a lot. He'd be so proud that I'm trying to protect what he worked so hard for. I've got a decent chunk, about $75k, that I'm looking to roll over from an old 401k into a Precious Metals IRA, and my advisor recently mentioned palladium as an option alongside gold and silver.
I've done some reading, but it's a lot of jargon. I understand the basics of physical palladium ownership via an IRA, but I'm trying to figure out what the actual pros and cons of palladium are compared to gold and silver, especially right now. Is it more volatile? Is it harder to sell if I ever needed to? Living here in Raleigh, I'm not really finding many local resources specifically discussing palladium, so I'm trying to cast a wider net.
My main goal is really about preserving capital and hedging against inflation. My husband built a comfortable life for us, and I just want to ensure that continues. It’s not about getting rich quick, but rather securing the future like he would have wanted.
Has anyone here invested in palladium before for their IRA? What was your experience like? Did you regret it, or was it a good move? Any specific companies you’d recommend or steer clear of, especially for a first-timer?
