@Jukebox1968 I think if precious metals do boom, say double or triple from what they are now then I think the world will be in a seriously bad place and probably won't make a difference what you hold or don't.
@Jukebox1968 the correct way to look at it is from 1971 onward, after the US left the gold standard. Prior to that silver and gold were components of the currency. Tho silver might have been .29 cents /oz that would equal about $24 worth of buying power today so the actual metal held its purchasing power compared to the .29 cents.
You are thinking about this all wrong. What about looking at the 10 year period where silver had its best growth? And that is why you can't just take any old time period when thinking about this. You need to look at purchasing power over time with the metals. You also need to look at other factors such as manipulation, suppression, and undervalue. Gold and silver will act as a crazy good investment in the years to come. Normally it isn't supposed to, but because of the other factors, it will.
Exactly my thoughts. Here in the UK our national debt is currently £2.65 Trillion and if you add to that Public sector pension Liabilities the debt is closer to £6 trillion and we have no hope of ever paying it back. Last year alone we spent more money servicing our debt than we spent on the entire education budget. Sooner or later the UK will be forced to de-value the currency and along with other factors I believe Gold will make massive gains. I don't buys silver due to the 20% vat but each to his/hers own.
@@the_islandstacker I had a supervisor try to tell me to buy gold in 2001 and he hounded me about it until 2005 when I quite working there. I was 19 and didn’t know anything about gold at the time. That was the first of many pieces of financial advice that I’d later regret not listening too 🤣
BS...I have been saving gold coins since 1981. I am 65 now and preparing to retire. I have concerns but none involve money. The gold coins took about 40-50 % of my invest able income. I never viewed them as an investment but strictly as a savings vehicle. One of the best things I did in my life.
Agreed. If you want growth over the next 10 years, buy Bitcoin or cryptos. If you want a safe place to secure your wealth and beat inflation, buy gold & silver
unfortunately, there is counter party risk... for if/when one needs to "sell" or otherwise exchange one's metal, one is beholden to whatever "price" (or exchange value) that a buyer deems acceptable and/or is willing to pay. In a time-sensitive situation, this can be a big issue.
Nonsense, gold is $2390.00 per ounce. Silver is just under $30.00 and will not go lower. Stocks are a scam, especially in america. But honest metals? That's the real investment!
Gold and silver are only up in any other currency other than the dollar. You’re not going to get rich like a tech stock but your preserving purchasing power with excess income.
Precious or useful metals appear to be becoming more sensitive to global affairs in terms of volatility. Silver for example ran 1,000% between the early 2000's and post 2008. If they go flinging more missiles around, particularly ones with very high energy, then who knows where the markets would end up as a result. In this digital age events tend to happen quicker along with the reactionary outcomes where there is that sense of hold on tight when one watches the markets pump or fall.
@@CATANOVA things are very volatile at the moment and I do like have some physical metals at hand just in case. If things do get bad then having numbers on a screen isn't going to help.
You say platinum is not the metal to be holding even after it is down over the long term…I think that platinum has the most upside since it has been depressed for so long
That's also true, but it peaked in 2011 and hasn't really done much since then. It would be great if it had a run and jumped back in front of gold but unless they change it's usages don't think it will go back where it was.
Being debt free and paying down the mortgage is always the safer option and perhaps arguably the best because it gives you peace of mind resulting in better sleep and thus better decision making abilities.
@@the_islandstacker It is tricky where you just got to balance that risk reward with opportunity. Gold and silver appear to be one of the safer things to be involved in as long as one doesn't go crazy on the over priced stuff. Having some physical metal could also potentially make things more interesting for the smaller player vs the digitally tracked and heavily taxed variants lol.
Good to see stackers waking up and doing the math instead of listening to the talking heads at the bullion channels talking their own book. They sell it at a premium and buy it back below spot.
I just started my gold collection like a week ago and silver. Got a king Charles coronation coin 4 gram. It was 260. Everyone say it was not worth it. But In time ik it will be only 14 that coin when I'm older could be worth a small bit
Dividend yielding fund perhaps. It's a good idea to keep your hand in on saving with gold as the ultimate hedge against disaster, but you're going to need some shares to build a passive income. Also paying off debt is a very good thing.
I agree I'm not selling all my metals but I've got a higher allocation to it than I would like. I'd like to get to about 10 percent of funds in metals but I'm closer to 20 at the moment.
Gold is hedge against inflation. I think during certain year(s) gold did better and in others stocks e.g. when gold was delinked from dollar in 1971 gold price increased from $35 to $850 per oz. Soon USA will be paying about $1 Trillion interest on the debt only. This will reslut in inflation due to Federal Reserve bailouts of the govt. So, I think gold may outperform stocks in the coming year(s). Your video was useful provding good comparison between gold and stocks. Thanks.
The old rules are out when discussing gold. 1 BILLION MORE PEOPLE ON EARTH IN 20 YEARS. Demand pushes up price. Demand can outpace inflation , giving you a healthy R.O.I.. China buying up gold like crazy. Even outpacing India.
The next 10-20 years will look nothing like the last 10-20 years. To not consider pesky details like, oh I dunno- like the global financial system nearing the end of its long slow-motion collapse, or say, the strong prospect of war looming on the horizon (along with other unprecedented factors) - is careless at best.

pretty ignorant way of understanding markets...gold can certainly 10x...let alone silver doing a 10x is absolutely possible. just because the past 10 years don't seem the best does not mean metals will be lose for eternity.
