    Buying silver and gold is easy, but it is renowned for stability during economic hard times like this. The main problem is investing in stocks, dividends and even cryptocurrencies to grow your portfolio.... I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $190K for some time now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

    People choose to buy gold for various reasons, such as it’s historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange, it’s potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and it’s relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also offers diversification benefits to investment portfolio due to its low correlation with stocks and bonds. However, investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for everyone.

      Gold is a fine hedge, but it is not an investment. It is fine for people to buy gold AFTER they pay their mortgage and contribute to their retirement accounts.
      Guys like this are peddling gold and silver retirement accounts. That is manipulative, and they are taking advantage of poor people who do not know any better.
      This happened forty years ago, and it ended badly for so many. Right now sleazy guys like this idiot Dr. Peterson brought here will screw a lot of people over.

      LOL! Here is a History Lesson! First they had nothing but commodities to use as Gold, such as wood and salt. That's called barter. Then they realized, wouldn't it be better if I sold my wood and salt instead of having to keep it as my money? So they started using Gold and Silver. Then they realized, they still had the same problem because Gold and Silver are also commodities. Why are we using something valuable that is basically like using Gold and Silver to track the score of a Basketball or Baseball game? We should be using something worthless, such as paper! Commodity and Gold backed currencies constantly failed. Why, because they either kept running out of the commodity or got stuck with too much of it and they became bag holders! Imagine someone with all this gold and nobody wants it! One guy in Japan cornered the Copper Market and then got stuck with all the Copper that nobody wanted! LOL! Before 1971, a depression and poverty hit every 10 years simply because the USA didn't have any more Gold for their ever growing population. In 1776, there were only 2 million people, so they had plenty of gold coins to print and give to people to trade. How many billions of people and coins do you need today? Would you work for 1 gold coin per year? Remember gold is rare and literally finite. In every accounting trade to buy food, you must sell your US Dollar or Gold. You going to buy a burger for a $2000 gold coin? And the same thing happens with gold backed currency because there is finite gold but infinite demand for money. Those countries end up bankrupt because everyone actually wants the gold but there is never enough gold and money. Fiat currency solves that problem because people never fear running out of money in circulation because they know the gov't can always print more. The gov't can't print more currency in gold back currency without literally devaluing their currency.

    This is exactly why the BRICS nations (plus quite a few others) are creating a new currency that will be backed by gold and other commodities. It's amazing how quietly this is happening. It will be huge when they are ready to use it and start trading using this new currency. I suspect that it will be devastating to the US (and the West in general) and will cause economic chaos.

      LOL! Here is a History Lesson! First they had nothing but commodities to use as Gold, such as wood and salt. That's called barter. Then they realized, wouldn't it be better if I sold my wood and salt instead of having to keep it as my money? So they started using Gold and Silver. Then they realized, they still had the same problem because Gold and Silver are also commodities. Why are we using something valuable that is basically like using Gold and Silver to track the score of a Basketball or Baseball game? We should be using something worthless, such as paper! Commodity and Gold backed currencies constantly failed. Why, because they either kept running out of the commodity or got stuck with too much of it and they became bag holders! Imagine someone with all this gold and nobody wants it! One guy in Japan cornered the Copper Market and then got stuck with all the Copper that nobody wanted! LOL! Before 1971, a depression and poverty hit every 10 years simply because the USA didn't have any more Gold for their ever growing population. In 1776, there were only 2 million people, so they had plenty of gold coins to print and give to people to trade. How many billions of people and coins do you need today? Would you work for 1 gold coin per year? Remember gold is rare and literally finite. In every accounting trade to buy food, you must sell your US Dollar or Gold. You going to buy a burger for a $2000 gold coin? And the same thing happens with gold backed currency because there is finite gold but infinite demand for money. Those countries end up bankrupt because everyone actually wants the gold but there is never enough gold and money. Fiat currency solves that problem because people never fear running out of money in circulation because they know the gov't can always print more. The gov't can't print more currency in gold back currency without literally devaluing their currency.

    The problem with gold is it’s very limiting. You can’t actively use it for commercial trade. If you try issuing a paper note as a gold backed currency, then how do you have enough currency in circulation to lubricant global trade?

    Regardless of what we trade, it’s productivity, skill, time,etc. that is of value. The currency is just the portable medium of exchange which represents our personal productivity. But, to solve for the scarcity or over abundance of that medium, we should anchor it. Why? Because the current economic system is in a constant state of catching up which seems to cause over or under correction.

    I love listening to him talk about this stuff. Still, how can owning gold trump owning real estate and land? If the time comes that I need gold, I'll sell the land for gold. Why buy straight gold and let it sit in the dark somewhere other than to hedge against inflation? I have land and real estate doing that, and it's also making me money whereas gold would not be. Thirty years from now, if the apocalypse hits the world and we're all tossing gold coins around and I have only fiat trash money, then I'll sell a portion of my land for gold, like I said. Why is that not better or at least equivalent to owning gold? The only thing I can think of is maybe no one will be left to buy land - or war would decimate everything and who cares about buying a home anymore. At that point, I could turn the land into crops and make a living selling food....as long as we're not experiencing nuclear fallout...
    Anyway, I guess I could go buy a tiny gold bar for 25k and hope I don't misplace it. And then I'd have to buy a safe deposit box and pay money to keep it open - or pull up one of my floor boards. if I die in the night, it can be an ancient dug up treasure for some archeologist some day - or the new homeowner.
    And thinking I'm just going to go melt down my gold and make it into something else.....well that takes money! Or it takes away from the worth of the gold you have; bc you have to pay someone to melt and stamp it into a gold coin so you can spend it, or pay the craftsman to make it into jewelry. Idk, I'm just not his target audience for his gold company business:)

Utter collapse and/or war - or if the U.S. completely loses power to a foreign (or internal) entity which changes the rule of law, takes my land...then they can do what they want with people's gold also. It's all rigged when it devolves to that level. But I do see gold as an option to diversify one's portfolio. It's just not very practical for use at any time.

Less military spending means less military presence, and less military presence means global trade gets a hell of a lot more expensive.
    A loss of the US navy would mean astronomically higher costs for transporting goods for all but a small handful of shipping lanes.

    The problem with gold is that the vast majority of the surface gold has already been found and gold is mostly used for ornamental purposes. Silver, on the other hand, is extremely important for industrial electrical uses (contacts, wiring, etc.) and gets used up. Back before digital photography, tons of silver was used up and just "disappeared" from film development. What I am saying is that there is far more gold hoarding than silver hoarding in the world today. Thus, the nefarious people who have the resources to hoard it can better determine it's value relative to fiat currencies. I.e., THEY'RE the ones in control.

And with banks buying up more and more gold, it makes you wonder what they know that we don't. Could they be preparing for some unforeseen event in the future where gold will be even more important?

    The thing about gold is that it isn't too rare to be money and it is not common to be money. Iron is too common and plentiful to be money and rhodium is too rare to be used as money. Gold and silver are those metals on the periodic table that are just right in being money.

    I agree with him, he doesn't mention silver. Besides, fiat currencies are backed by compound interest. When a company grows from 1 producer to 2 then 4 then 8 and so on that is compound interest doing its thing. Unfortunately people abuse fiat currencies.

    The issue I have with Gold is that its so challenging to acquire and/or sell without paying exorbitant fees that can eat up 10%+ of costs. If you take possession of physical gold you pay shipping and/or storage costs on top of that. I like the idea of it, but I just cannot justify the immediate loss of capital to acquire it.

    just checked the gold price adjusted to inflation over the last 100 years. It fluctuates quite a bit even before the abolishment of gold standard. It might be a good storage of value relative to other metal, but not quite sure whether it is a good store of value relative to fiat money. I guess the biggest advantage of gold standard is you can't artificially print more of it, thus cannot not be devalued easily by the government. In addition. I am not sure if the recent inflation among western countries is mainly due to quantitative easing. At least a big part of it is due to oil price increase as a result of recent wars around the world. I am not quite convinced with Peter Schiff's argument here.

      Beef roast in 1913 $0.15 a pound, Today $8.50 a pound. Buying beef, the dollar lost 98.3% of its purchasing power. $0.15 in 1913 is ~0.007 ounces of gold or $14 today. In terms of gold, beef is cheaper today than in 1913. But if you had saved your money in dollars for 110 years it wouldn’t buy you anything.
      Median house price in 1913 was $3400. Today, $480,000. The dollar lost 99.3% of its purchasing power. $3400 in gold in 1913 is 170 ounces. That’s $340,000 today. Which takes into account that houses back then had no appliances, and maybe had electricity and running water. Buy a 1913 spec house and it would cost $300K.
      1913 barrel of oil was $0.95, today $75. Dollar lost 98.8% of its purchasing power. $0.95 on the 1913 gold standard is 0.047 ounces of gold, $95 today. Oil was more expensive back then.
      Price for a new model T was $525. That’s 26.25 ounces, $52,000 today. Average car price today is $48,000… gold accounts for inflation over long periods of time. The dollar is inflated away.
      A slummy apartment in NYC ran about $15 a month, today $1300. 99% value lost in dollars, $15 in 1913 gold is $1500 today, buys you basically the same apartment.
      An ounce of gold was $20, today it’s $2000. The dollar lost 99% of its purchasing power. The ounce of gold can still buy you basically the exact same amount of stuff it could 110 years ago.
      It averages to 96% accounting for a full range of CPI goods/services/housing.

      And the reason I say energy is the most fundamental currency is because there is a scarcity element to it, there is only so much energy available at any given time. If you are living in a survival situation where food and shelter are both hard to come by, gold isn’t really going to be very valuable, since it cannot be eaten, nor does it provide you shelter. Energy, on the other hand, is the reason why you have to eat food in the first place, and the energy of the warmth of the hearth is the reason why you need a home.
