For thousands of years, gold has been the safe haven people depended on during wars, recessions, and volatile U.S. stock markets, as well as times of inflation, deflation, and general economic uncertainty.

A core holding of gold serves as financial insurance for your entire portfolio. During the worst of times, gold has proven to appreciate in value while most other assets fall in value.

We feel that prudent individuals who hold a balance of 10% to 20% of their portfolios in hard assets can reduce stock market risks dramatically and offset losses with considerable profits.

Insurance Against Stock Portfolio Risk

Gold protects you because it has a low-to-negative correlation with stocks, bonds, and the U.S. Dollar. That means troubled economic times that drive down paper investments drive up the prices of gold.

As U.S. Stocks soared in the 1990s, gold prices declined to a low of $252. Money rushed into U.S. mutual funds, risky NASDAQ stocks, dot coms, and high-tech stocks. 

Gold– A Precious Metal Whose Time Has Come Again

We’ve diligently preached the benefits of acquiring and holding physical gold. As a result, thousands of our clients have profited greatly over the past decade.

Like many investments, gold can be volatile. Yet, it always has an intrinsic value and can never become worthless. Historically, gold protects against sharp declines in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and provides a true hedge to paper currency. Under the worst conditions, gold typically rises in value substantially.

Is History About To Repeat Itself?

In our opinion, those who acquire hard assets and hold them through the uncertain times ahead are making a low risk/high reward decision.

As global debt continues to surge, gold could easily exceed the past inflation-adjusted highs over $2,300 an ounce. During the last bull market of the 1970s, gold increased over 2,328%! Somewhere in between there’s plenty of profit to be made.

Gold Offers Safety With Excellent Upside Potential

We firmly believe it has never been more important for Americans to be prepared. In a flight to safety you must own physical gold, like bars and coins, not paper gold or ETFs.

Further, we feel a balanced, diversified holding of gold, silver, and selected rare coins may offer you both a safe haven and excellent upside profit potential.

Typically Gold Underperforms when:

• Investment yields (bonds and equities) are sufficiently high to compensate for risk
• Inflation is low or falling/currency relatively stable or rising 
• Economy is healthy
• Relatively peaceful global environment
