Key Takeaways
- Learn how stackers automate the tracking of online bullion dealers for sudden drops in the premium-over-spot price of gold and silver.
The Premium Over Spot
When buying physical gold and silver (like American Eagles or Maple Leafs), the spot price is only half the story. Dealers charge a "premium" on top of the spot price. During high demand, premiums skyrocket. Finding a dealer running a flash sale to reduce their premium is the key to stacking effectively.
Navigating the Dealers
Checking APMEX, JM Bullion, and SD Bullion manually is tedious.
- Specific Weights: Track the premium specifically on 1oz gold bars or 10oz silver bars.
- Flash Sales: Monitor for unannounced weekend sales where dealers clear out excess inventory.
