Is Gold the BEST Investment?

A lot of people (including 1 in 5 Americans) have a surprising view of gold. What shouldn't be a surprise to you is how abnormal everything is. Planning around normal conditions for gold right now just doesn't make sense. This video gives some things to think about.

    In my opinion, if you didn't have to pay property taxes, I do believe real estate would be the best option provided it was just land. But because you really don't own real estate, stop paying taxes and find out who really owns that property. GOLD. Once purchased, all you have to do is hold it. It is truly yours .

    ​@@2is1gold I agree, but a paid for property costs less on a monthly basis. Of course that varies from state to state. In the end, we only borrow our properties from the next "owner". Still, property taxes, insurance and upkeep is paid by the owner or renter. I'd rather make the equivalent of 2 months rent for those and not have a landlord.

    @@go4it129 Every investor in the world has a story like this one. For me it was a stock that looked great but turned out not to be and I lost about 1/3 of my invested money. I considered doubling down on it but decided against that, so there was a shred of caution employed there. But, as with you, I became a MUCH better investor from that experience and went on to do very well... well enough to retire comfortably at age 55 in 2004. Still retired now and enjoying it immensely. I feel for those who have a 401k plan at work that isn't very good. My employer was very careful with the fees and other aspects of our retirement plan and they didn't hesitate to shop for a better plan. Over the course of 24 years, it was an excellent investment, becoming one of the great wealth creation engines for many Americans and giving birth to the term "401K millionaire". The funny part of all this is that I didn't start stacking until early in 2010. The 2008 experience in the stock market was bad enough that this was my wake-up call that let me know that making a lot in the market was good but protecting it with wealth insurance, aka gold and silver, was even better. Because of this, I took SS benefits at age 62, used some of it for living expenses and more for stacking. I was not impressed with the US Gov or the Fed in terms of their money management skills, so wanted some of my money back from SS so I could invest it myself. I did well with investing this money, both in stocks and in PMs, so no complaints there. Life genuinely is a journey. We make mistakes, fall down, and have to get back up again in various ways. But, it usually has something interesting going on most of the time.

    I've decided precious metals offer a great savings mechanism. They don't pay dividends. The law of compounding doesn't apply. Precious metals don't appreciate or earn rental income. They just hold their value as fiat currencies go all topsy turvy. It's more fun to see gold or silver accumulate than a balance grow in an account. Because of that, it has an inherent appeal that stimulates the desire to save. It's like game-ifying saving.

    Gold does not pay a dividend because it does not need to do that. A dividend is a bribe to hold an asset that is denominated in a slowly failing currency. That said, some dividends compound nicely over time and are great for stocks that are held for long periods of time and that grow their dividends yearly.

    In 2001 a $10,000 investment/savings/insurance/whatever... in gold would have purchased about 25 oz of gold and would have a dollar value of about $60,000 today. Now $10,000 will buy about 4 oz of gold. Those numbers suggest the dollar has lost 5/6th or 83% of its purchasing power in 23 years. In the next 23 years how many gold oz's will $10,000 purchase? If things don't accelerate that curve alone would say you could get .64 oz with that $10,000. It won't mean you are richer if you own many oz's because a $35 dollar oz in 1920 has the same purchasing power as an oz purchased yesterday at $2400.

It doesn't say anything about taxes, Roth IRAs, third-party risk or all the variables in life. The point being that there is all sorts of room for the right answer.

    Renting property sounds good on paper and heck you can have a good run of responsible renters but over the long term you'll get massive repair costs not factored into that potential windfall. Eventually people will begin to see that gold isn't doing anything but sit there however the dollar is in constant freefall over time. Gold doesn't increase in value but more of a inverse of the dollar value.

    2 IN 1 COMMENT - GOLD This is an excellent discussion. For me, I’m looking at gold/silver as a “store of value.” I’ve heard that expression before, yet as I study this more and more the idea of “gold vs inflation” keeps bubbling to the top. Which makes me peel back the layers of gold and reveal that I am attracted to it more and more. Truth is, I no longer trust the political class nor the financial class. Ron Paul - not Rand Paul, but his dad! - started railing on the Federal Reserve back in the late 1990s when he was a US Representative. His son Rand continues the same criticism, albeit as a US Senator. Either way, THEY WERE/ARE RIGHT! I (we) can no longer trust the manipulations and scheming behind the scenes that too often result in the privileged rich getting richer… all on the backs of the rest of us. And they do that mostly with OUR money (sorta OPM deal: “other people’s money”). That money, however, is a fiat representation of wealth, ie, the US dollar bill (and all its follow-on, increasing denominations). That dollar bill iS NOT money; it’s a promissory note, nothing more. When’s the last time you read what is actually written on the face of a dollar bill? Look at it. Absorb it. It states: THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. Is that “money?” Is that “a store of value?” I used to think so. I’m in my 60s now, and I’ve trusted that relationship in the “legal tender” stuff. But trust is a 2-way street. I’ve always paid my taxes and I’ve trusted the government to respond the relationship with equal respect. It hasn’t. Not even close. Ron and Rand Paul are correct: the Fed needs to be dismantled. It is nothing more than a tool for the financial class to retain its dominance. But here’s the thing: such dominance by bankers has been gong on for centuries! You can go back to the East India Trading Companies of the Dutch and English in the 1600s and 1700s. They employed the tactic of Predatory Capitalism, especially with naive islanders in the Pacific. And they got stinking wealthy from it. And that accepted form of thievery has been aggressively modeled ever since. (“Accepted” via the fact that the bankers use the political class to manipulate laws in their favor. THEIR FAVOR, not for you and me. Proof? Look what George Bush did in 2008 just before he left office, ala the bailout of banks in the mortgage loan crisis they had been building for years. And I actually voted for him! 😠) Wanna know who else has been naive to such financial shenanigans?… ME. No more! I’m sick & tired of playing their (banker/financial elites) game of them winning and me not. So, it’s like that last line in the 1980s movie WAR GAMES with Matthew Broderick where the WHOPPER computer - after scaring the bejeebers out of the general and everyone around him with its hyper advanced war game scenarios being played out on the big board with devastating results - stops at the end with the wisest comment of all: THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS TO NOT PLAY THE GAME. That is where I am with the dollar bill and all its representations and machinations. I am no longer playing their game. Gold and silver are a store of value. The Fed’s dollar bill isn’t. Not even close. It’s a fetid, addictive drug being pushed on us from a soulless dealer: bankers & politicians. But that’s just me. 😏

In Canada we can get a 30yr mortgage but it’s mandatory to update interest rates every 5 years so in reality you’re only locked in for a max of 5 yrs.

    Am not American. How much we pay for precious metals depends on the spot price and also the UK pound to US dollar exchange rate(when the pound fell on June 24th 2016 the price for an ounce of gold went up another £100 it hasn't really recovered since). The pound is weaker since Brexit so we pay more for gold and silver. Plus silver and Platinum(new) are taxed at 20% VAT. I try to buy my silver second hand to save on costs. Trying to buy more platinum but no dealers have any in stock currently.

    Could you do a video about gold brokers and developing relationships with them. I've been buying for a round 5 years and have bought from a few different brokers over that period. All have varying premiums and sometimes have different specials running or old stock clearances. What I'd like is for a broker to know he can sell to me when gold dips to a certain price but I'm unsure of the etiquette around this. I'm in NZ and currently expecting gold spot to dip to NZ $3500 an oz, I'd like to buy 4 or 5 ozs at that spot, but unsure if I'm being cheeky talking to a broker about that. My last few purchases have been from a company so struggle to get the same broker every time, even when I ask for them by name. We have had $3000 dollar gold here in NZ for quite some time lol! We even had $4000 an oz gold at one point.

    A lot of our fellow stackers say this but it's not true for everyone. I did not start stacking until I was 61 and have no regrets at all about that. Why not, you ask? Because I was making too much in the stock market to worry about it. That was where my emphasis was and it was quite a thrill to see my accounts go up by more than $10k a day. Of course, there also were days when it went down by that much too but the general trend was higher, except for the bad years of 2001, 2008, 2020, and 2022.. Still, even with those years averaged in, my investments were quite a bit higher than they would have been via simply saving cash in a bank or money market account. I learned very early on that I would never be able to save my way to a comfortable retirement. I knew that I needed to invest to grow my wealth. Investing is not a game for the timid. One must be educated in the art of investing and then one must be bold and aggressive if one is to succeed. Being overly aggressive isn't good either, so finding some happy medium that works for you will aid your success.

    I would not assume that the decline in gold ETF holdings reflects a lack of retail interest in "paper" gold. We all know that central banks have been buying gold. We don't know where that gold came from, but my bet is that a lot of it came from the ETFs (via Authorized Participants pulling gold out of the ETF and selling it to the Central Banks). Realistically, the ETFs are a source of readily available gold. If you are an Authorized Participant, paper gold can get turned into physical gold very easily.

    Maaan, I'm so disappointed in my gold for another reason... I've been buying 1-gram bars from a local dealer with their brand and therefore a bit cheaper than the well-known Valcambi and Pamp. I was totally freaked out yesterday when I found brownish spots on five out of 13 bars. I read online and was reassured by the dealer that this wouldn't change the price and quality, but how can I be sure? What if the stains get larger and they decide they don't like the bars in a few years? I'm thinking of exchanging these 18 bars and paying for the difference and getting a 20 gr Valcambi bar. The 18 ones have a big profit right now and that'll entirely go for the Valcambi premium, so I'm kinda pissed and not sure what to do.

That said, I invest heavily in real estate, stocks, money markets and bonds. Minimally in 401k and bare bones in savings accounts and crypto. And I buy gold… I even take pension loans from my union to buy more gold in case I get to retirement and the pension “disappears” for some unknown reason (yes pension loans have a vig)! So, I spread it EVERYWHERE because hopefully ANYTHING has value if/when you need it! The only “real” investment ends with estate! You gotta fight like hell while you’re young, GO GET IT ALL!!!

    The dynamics of gold pricing are undergoing a fundamental change with control shifting from New York and London to Shanghai. The possession of physical gold is becoming increasingly more vital. The US regime has destroyed the trustworthiness and credibility of the United States. Nations content to leave their physical gold in the United States are now pulling it back. Pricing control is being shipped east along with physical supply. China has merely paused buying for strategic reasons. If you are not truly long on gold, the odds are you will suffer a nervous breakdown sometime over the next two years as the price of gold moves with the course of the global financial war, not according to past parameters and theories.

Silver is a riskier/more volatile metal then gold, but has potential to exceed expectations more so then gold experts state. People like Rick Rule and others say buy silver now, then wait until the ratio gap narrows to 30:1 for example then switch it out for gold, said Rule. This way you can buy twice as much gold compared to 60:1 or 70:1, he said. That’s my plan along with picking up a tube of golden eagles.

Also, how the exchanges operate is dodgy.
