Editorial policy

Goldrush.net exists to help readers understand the costs, tradeoffs, and risks of buying gold, silver, and precious metals through taxable accounts or retirement accounts.

Editorial principles

• Use plain English instead of pressure-based sales language.
• Show costs, spreads, storage, liquidity, taxes, and caveats wherever possible.
• Avoid promises of safety, certainty, guaranteed returns, or crisis-proof wealth.
• Disclose affiliate relationships and distinguish education from recommendations.
• Prefer primary sources, provider documents, regulator resources, and dated updates.

Research process

• Capture source URL, timestamp, and archive evidence for each published number.
• Label unpublished or unverified numbers clearly.
• Check regulator actions, lawsuits/news, and complaint patterns before publishing company reviews.
• Use outside professional review for money pages before treating them as fully published recommendations.

Corrections

If a factual issue is found, the page should be corrected and the affected data point reviewed across related pages. Material corrections should be reflected in the page's updated date.
