Monex Crdit Company Push to acquire additional silver bars that they would finance Newport Beach CA

In July 2016, I purchased one silver bar ($10,000), immediately the account representative pushed me to buy two mores bars by investing $30,000, with the rest financed by Monex Credit Company for a total of $60,000 investment. My equity therefore was 49.9%.   Frank Gonzalez, the Account Representative, offered to monitor the market and make me aware of exposure in the market. Well, in 45 months, he only call me once (on 5/24/19) to tell me that I needed to deposit $1,419.86 because my equity had dropped.

Back to the present (4/9/2020).  On March 16, 2020, I received this email from them:

My equity was $1,184.16 which I supposed to be sent by mail as of this writing (4/10/20).  So, I will let the summary below speak by itself about how good of investment in silver this was for me:

07/16/2016: Original capital investment was: $30,000 for a 49.99% equity position of 3x1,000 oz silver bars.

05/24/2019: Deposited $1,419.86 due to drop in minimum equity

03/16/2020: Forced termination of account.

04/06/2020: Called Frank to asked him why he didn't informed me back on 04/10/2020, before the market begin its down ward movement, to sell my position. He failed to act and it cost me.  I requested a check for $1,184.16, which was the remaining equity in my account.

04/10/20: I called Frank but he wasn't available until Monday.

Read all the ripfoff of reports on Monex before you invest.  Do not take position with hem; buy your own bars if you must invest in precious metal._

Lesson learned very expensively!

Sincerely,

Jack
