00:06
Could it be because of those gold bars they're selling,
00:09
you already know Costco is selling as much as $200 million a
00:15
month in gold bars.
00:17
The one ounce 24 karat gold bars are priced at above $2000
00:23
and sell out like fucking hot cakes.

Guys, they are selling out quickly and Reddit is actually to

blame because they're driving people into the craze to buy gold bars

crypto, bros.
00:38
They, they found out about it.
00:39
They sure did. Costco sells the gold for 2% above market
00:43
price and reports show that it's a low profit business for them
00:47
like they don't even,
00:48
they don't even make money like that.

01:14

01:16
I wouldn't, especially 2% above market price,
01:19
you know. Yeah,
01:19
maybe not experts recommend buying gold directly from a bullion dealer instead
01:26
for the best price or investing in a fund that owns gold
01:29
Well, that makes better sense.
01:31
I mean, yeah,
01:31
I don't wanna go to Costco where I get churros and hot
01:34
dogs. Now I'm getting gold there too.
01:37
What the hell is going on?
01:39
I don't know, dude,
01:39
but I had no idea.
01:40
They had gold bars.
01:41
I know they had gold jewelry but West,
01:44
