Thanks You for Visiting!

My name is Steven Warrenfeltz, I created this guide to give you an honest place, on the web, that provides reliable bullion market information.

This guide is a little unusual to other guides because it not only offers bullion market information, it also advocates for Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research, and supports individuals who are Battling cancer

A few decades ago, I made a graveside promise to a childhood friend who died of cancer that I would help those who are battling cancer.

I created this guide to help people understand how precious metals help them preserve the value of their savings and or investments while trying to fulfill a promise.

See this guide's Mission page for more information.
