Market Gap

Investors are misled by predatory practices in precious metals trading.

The precious metals trading industry is rife with predatory practices, often leaving first-time investors vulnerable to scams. Many companies sell proprietary coins at inflated prices, making it difficult for buyers to compare value or understand true market conditions. As a result, less than 1% of the population invests in precious metals, which is a valuable asset class for wealth preservation. This lack of transparency and consumer protection creates a significant barrier for potential investors who might benefit from including gold and silver in their portfolios.

Summary

Brandon's experience in the precious metals industry led him to found Thor Metals Group, a dealer focused on providing transparency and fairness in the market. The idea centers around creating a trading platform that offers education and clear pricing, helping investors navigate the complexities of precious metals investment. By leveraging technology to provide market insights and ensuring fair pricing, this platform could attract more consumers to invest in gold and silver while protecting them from predatory practices. The target audience would include first-time investors and those looking to diversify their portfolios with precious metals.
