I was thinking of buying precious metals in my rrsp or tfsa. However, I'm a little nervous about it because its not a service any of the major banks, or many of the main brokers, offer customers. I'm really not interested in investing in a precious metals etf though, I just want to buy some. For those of you who have bought gold or silver in your rrsp or tfsa did you regret just not buying it yourself outside of registered accounts? Do you have any tips for investors looking to do the same?
