Nine Things We Love About Gold

 

  • “Wealth Preservation: Gold has been a long-standing store of value that retains its purchasing power over time. It can be a safety net against inflation and currency devaluation.
  • Hedge Against Crisis: Gold often performs well during inflationary periods but not perfectly. It’s more of a “crisis hedge” than an inflation hedge. When investors anticipate the value of money decreasing rapidly, gold often increases. And while Jay Powell’s monetary policy has tightened considerably, Congress’ ludicrous fiscal policy has not. How much more money is going to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan? When will war games turn into war?
  • Diversification: You don’t have to back up the truck and put everything into gold. Just adding gold to a portfolio provides diversification, which reduces risk. It often has a negative correlation to stocks and other financial instruments.
  • Safe Haven: During geopolitical tension or economic uncertainty, investors often flock to gold as a safe haven asset. Ukraine was already a messy situation, but Israel and Hamas have taken that messiness to a whole new level.
  • Liquidity: Everyone loves gold and is a buyer. It’s a highly liquid asset that can be sold quickly and easily if needed, which can be beneficial in an emergency.
  • Capital Appreciation: While gold is often viewed as a wealth preservation tool, there’s also the potential for capital appreciation, especially during market conditions like high inflation or geopolitical unrest. And with the technical outlook I’ll explain later, this is the perfect moment to make your first purchase — or additional purchases.
  • Tangible Asset: Unlike stocks and bonds, gold is a tangible asset that some investors find appealing. Dig a hole in your backyard and throw your gold in it. Just don’t tell anyone you’ve done that.
  • Historical Performance: Gold has a long history of holding value and has been a sought-after asset for millennia.
  • Low Volatility: Unlike many other assets (Bitcoin comes to mind) gold often has lower volatility, providing a steadier investment over the long term.”
