In late January I bought some precious metals. Noticed the CIBC app had a linked to order precious metals through the bank. I went to check what the prices look like, after the whole silver rush thing. No link to be found.
Thought it was interesting. My local coin / bullion dealer has ZERO stock. All pre orders. Very interesting.
If you need physical precious metals i can help you. Many places do not restrict the buying and selling of precious metals so dont be discouraged. Its not that hard.
