I never viewed metals as an investment, but I always saw it as a great way to save your cash & retain the value from when you bought it. It’s not hard to turn it to liquid cash, and it beats letting inflation destroy your savings.

You are in for a nasty surprise, my friend. Gold is often hailed as a hedge against inflation-increasing in value as the purchasing power of the dollar declines. However, government bonds are more secure and have shown to pay higher rates when inflation rises, and Treasury TIPS provide built-in inflation protection.

Given the current market uncertainty, it seems wise to consider investing in gold or a gold ETF. I'm thinking of allocating over $300k for retirement purposes. While the potential for short-term gains in a bullish market is appealing, I understand the importance of maintaining a long-term investment strategy.

Gold is seen as a safe bet during economic ups and downs. But investing in it can be tricky. Some people lose money because they don't understand how it works. So, it's wise to be careful. I suggest talking to a financial advisor who can help you figure out when to buy and sell.

The only issue is that you'll never get your money back from that Silver due to shops paying low in order to resell for profit. It'll be even harder if it's Silver Rounds, and not Premium Silver Coins, but with premium you're already paying way too much. I found that I make more selling .925 Silver jewelry over Silver coins. It's way more profitable in jewelry form. Even brass plated jewelry will land you more money back than Silver coins. However I'm not against Silver Stacking, as I'm 100% silver myself. This is from my experience speaking.

It's not completely bad advice. The question was about investing in gold. Gold doesn't raise in value very much so it's a poor investment. Putting your money in gold or silver is more an insurance policy. If you have 100k in gold and the country falls and is replaced with a new country, you can trade in the gold for whatever currency the new government uses. It didn't really raise in value, it just protected an asset from worst case scenario.

...a dollar invested in bonds in 1801 would be worth nearly a thousand dollars by 1998, a dollar invested in stocks that same year would be worth more than half a million dollars. All this is in real terms, taking inflation into account. Meanwhile, a dollar invested in gold in 1801 would by 1998, be worth just 78 cents.

The fallacy that stocks return 9% over a long period of time, is because people use todays existing stocks and then artificially go backwards. They dont grab a group of stocks as they were back then and then find out which company still exists. In the real world, you buy stocks, and then see what happens to your stock/company after 200 years go by. The best buggy whip companies in 1801 are now worthless.

That's not how compound interest works. P(1+i)^N is the formula. The actual return given the numbers you used, assuming annual compounding is 3.25%. Over 50 years, 3.25% compounded annually turns $254.48 to $1260. For comparison, the average stock market return over that period is around 7%, which turns $254.48 into $7496.

@@wearewarriorseaglesjaguars6342 _Objectively_ speaking, gold is not much more valuable than paper. The reason why gold has historically been used in currencies is because it is relatively rare and it doesn't rust; the gold bar you buy and put in storage isn't going to slowly deteriorate in weight over time. But in the end, it's still a hunk of rock. Strictly speaking, the only thing with objectively value "until the end of time" is food and clean water. If the global economy sinks and people are going hungry, I'd take a loaf of bread and bottle of water over a bar of gold. And so would everyone else. And therefore, you wouldn't be able to trade your gold for anything.

Dave has good and bad points. What he should say is he believes other investments if you pick a good real estate or good mutual funds/ETF's will perform better in the long term over gold/silver but there is nothing wrong in diversifying some of your portfolio in gold/silver. There are good returns available on gold/silver if you hold and then look for spike rises. Also in economic recession if someone needs to raise cash and they can not sell their real estate as value is down or difficult to sell and their mutual funds are seriously down (so not wanting to sell to take a large loss) then been able to sell some gold/silver at high price gives you a great option. Simple advice, have a small allocation 5-10% of gold/silver in your portfolio.

It was also pure luck when I started in the stock market back in 1982 when I poured my life savings in the market when the DOW was about 880. But, the DOW was also around 880 back in 1969. So timing (pure luck) can make any investor look like a genius.
I would use precious metals for storing value, as a safeguard against serious fluctuations in fiat currency and/or stock market. I wouldn't expect it to grow value. Growth is great when possible, but loss is always the flip side of that coin.

Gold and Silver is better to use as a form of SAVINGS (not investment unless it's numismatic coins) and to protect your purchasing power due to the currency constantly being devalued. Since 1971 (last year of the gold standard), Gold has out-performed our currency and the stock market when you factor in inflation. More currency (dollars) continues to be printed because we are using a debt-based monetary system. So the more dollars in circulation, the less value they have over time as the value becomes diluted when there are too many dollars coupled with the currency velocity (spending activity in the economy). If anyone would have saved in gold since 1971 (or since 1913, beginning of the FED), they would have more wealth today than if they had saved the same original amount in dollars. We would not have to worry about our currency become devalued like today if we operated on a gold standard. To make the gold standard work, we would need to adjust the value of dollar relative to gold in order to account for all the currency in circulation by the FED. Gold is the reason people were confident in currency in the past. Keynesian economics will not work as long as our monetary system is based on debt. People lose confidence in the dollar when the government become desperate and goes broke, as the US is heading today. Each dollar represents a claim check on an IOU as opposed to a claim check on gold. The intrinsic value of the dollar is ZERO and continues to head closer to zero with each passing day. Gold, on the other hand, hedges against the devaluation of a currency, which is precisely why it is important to maintain at least 5-10% of your portfolio in gold and silver, too. Silver is more undervalued compared to gold, so it is good to have a mix of both, especially now. Every government that has used paper currency since the 11th century (the first time when China experimented with paper currency), the value of the currency has ALWAYS returned to its intrinsic value, which is ZERO. With all due respect to Dave Ramsey, he could not be more wrong about Gold/silver. I sleep better at night knowing that I have protected my wealth with something of real value that I can hold in my hand and that cannot be seized by banks. The only thing banks can do is manipulate the price through the COMEX, which is a scheme that has been ongoing for a long time. Once banks are no longer able to maintain that scheme due to lack of physical metal as they sell it off and investors demand it, then expect gold/silver to sky rocket to their true value based on the amount of excessive currency in circulation.
Here are the facts: Gold in 1966 (50 years ago) was worth $35.13/oz, today its $1,255. Adjusting for inflation, $35.13 in 1966 is about $257.00 today. So that would be a return of 488%! thats in addition to saving you from inflation. Not adjusting for inflation, thats 3580%

i get that Dave has a different historical back-ground - but comming from Middle Europe I can state that there was not a 100 years were paper money did not lose all of its worth (in fact often it was much more frequent), and also it is true that immediately after e.g. the 2nd world war the intermediate government printed money but it was literally inflating by the hour - you could not buy anything with it -> from my grandparents I know that the best tradiing goods were: food later on also alcohol and cigarretes and later on gold and silver -> which had an enormous buying power for a while. So maybe it is more a psychological thing -> but my emergency fund will always be mostly gold and some silver
If the caller bought in 2016 when this video came out, then they did REALLY well.

This is really bad advice. Dave's other advice, to get out of debt and to use cash instead of credit - that's good advice. But not this, not now. Gold is not an investment (in the sense that it doesn't have 'cash-flow'), but it is a great store of value. In other words, gold is a way to save money. Saving dollars is a way to lose money due to real inflation and the devaluing of the dollar. For more information read the book "Currency Wars" by James Rickards and balance Dave Ramsey by listening to the advice of Robert Kiyosaki on The Rich Dad Radio Show.

Should you put some of your extra cash into precious medals? Yes. You can think of it as an insurance plan. because unlike all of your other investments gold and silver actually do better during a recession. They keep up with and do better then inflation.. Cash it in when times are bad for a profit. The best true emergency fund Currency can buy. Gold and Silver: the only true form of money.

Dave is partially correct but it's fair to say he doesn't fully understand gold. While it is true that gold isn't a good investment, that's like saying holding cash isn't a good investment - because gold (like cash) is a form of money. It serves a purpose better than just about anything else - storing wealth. When there is a devaluation or currency crash those who have some gold won't have lost their purchasing power. Dave could recommend that his followers hold some gold bullion as a portion of their emergency fund. It has a lot of advantages for this purpose. It can be quickly cashed in but it's not something you can just spend on impulse. It can also provide some protection during a major economic event.

I love when someone provides the best evidence for something when trying to argue against it. Having gold would be infinitely better in both scenarios than leaving your money in cash if you were in the confederate states or Iraq. You would be able to exchange gold for whatever the new currency is that replaces the old currency. Both the stock market and real estate are tied directly to the country's currency. So, if a tough economic time happens you will not be able to cash out or leave to another country that is not affected. Gold is essentially a hedge and preservation against your country's currency, if it were to decline in value or crash/die completely. Some other alternate assets also have that power, but none are as liquid as gold.

The dollar was only worth something when it was backed by gold
Dave says (I'm paraphrasing) "no time in history have we ever used gold and silver." ALL money was gold and silver before we printed mass amounts of paper money. And as a little side note, Saddam's money system used Silver and Gold coin. Then it was replaced by debt based paper money. Another side note on the civil war comment he made: The reason people used union dollars was because war creates debt and the union was in debt and had to use IOUs and due to people hording silver and gold, there was a shortage of hard money (silver and gold). The U.S. government used paper money to jump start the economy. The US used gold coins as money up to 1933 almost 70 years after the civil war, and used silver coins up 1964 almost 100 years after the civil war. I'n not a follower of Dave but I'm giving him a try. I already do many of the things he suggests, but mu knowledge of money history is giving me red flags about this guy. How many other things is he wrong about and why is he so arrogant about his opinion on gold and silver? As a Christian, I would never display this type of blatant arrogance and I would never pretend to know a subject and offer advice about it. He seems to refuse to learn about it. Very arrogant.
