Money Transfers and Precious Metals

One of my callers asked how much it would cost to have her money wire transferred to her daughter. She explained to me that her daughter wants to buy gold at Golden Eagle. Her daughter told her that gold is the best way to invest now as the price is going up. She sounded excited. I wish I could be happy for her. I can't seem to relate. We don't have institutions here that sell gold and if there are, the quality of the gold would be questionable.
