Gold and Silver - the Worst Investment

  • Recurring comments tell us gold and silver are a bad bet - a bad investment. Some comments will pick specific timeframes ("last 12 years") to make the return on investment look particularly poor. As I've said you can pick a window of time to tell about any story you want, but the important part of precious metal performance is based on the manner in which you buy. This video dives into that.

      Even better? Pay off any debt you have (average interest rate banks are charging on credit card balances is 20.5%!). When you’ve done that, put $ into the broad market via a Roth IRA. Then put together a 6-month cash emergency fund. THEN you can stack gold and/or silver.

    Best way I’ve heard it put…back in the 60’s if you had a gold bar it would get you a suit and a nice dinner (spot $35 or so). Today, if you had a gold bar you could do the same, on the other hand, if you kept the $35, what would it buy today?

      Social Media is probably the most important driver. Second would be confirmational bias which of course social media provides. PMs are clearly not the "worst" investment since frankly, it isn't an investment in the financial sense, more of a hedge. Lots of people spend more than they make so I guess using your logic that is a good idea too. j/k EDIT: Every nation "says" they have a gold reserve, but like the United States, those "reserves" have not been audited in oh, half a century ;-)

      YES! Warren Buffett once said that gold was a bad investment.

In a time when capital preservation is critical, precious metals are very important. Even Buffett now understands this.

    Gold and Silver are "outside the system" savings accounts for me and only buy on huge dips like we have seen recently. Buying Gold and Silver keeps me from spending money on silly and unnecessary purchases. Holding physical Gold and Silver allows me to quickly pull in emergency needs and sell at my LCS and walk away with cash when needed. Not looking for it to moon and get rich off the purchases

      In 1920 on average you could buy an acre of land for 3 1/2 ounces of silver!! Today on average that same acre would cost you 7 1/2 ounces of gold!! If you bought one thousand announces of the silver January 1, 1980!! You would’ve had $39,950. If you had that same 1000 ounces of silver today. You would have $22,830!! If you have no problem losing $17,120?? not a bad return for 43 years!! CASE CLOSED!!! 😂😂😂

    Love the channel. Avid fan. " Dragon fever is a real thing". That was profound. I'm always tempted to get more gold. I cant help feeling that the world values everything in fiat. When I get more gold I feel like I've outsmarted the fed and the government. I have slipped their veil of lies and returned to the old world valuation of money. Where one gold equals one good horse etc. Maybe we should start valuing things against gold and silver. I'll start. I recently bought a chevy truck it cost me 2 and a half gold. Of course it cost nearly 10 silver to license. -G

    Question: I go to one of your recommended Bullion dealers to by a 1oz American Eagle.
    They list a 2023 (BU) for ~$2020.00 and a random year (BU) for ~ $2010.00. Aside from the price difference, which would be the smart buy?
    Why would a random year make a difference if the gold content is the same? Or does the gold content vary by year? I am assuming there is no Numismatic value.

    • @2is1gold
      @2is1gold  9 місяців тому +1

      Prices are dictated by inventory and purchase cost. When random date coins are cheaper it usually means people have been selling so they have them stocked up. The only difference to you, the buyer, would be that second party coins might have minor wear.

    I think with gold on breaking even... Silver on the other hand... My avg spot price over the last decade is around 18 - 19 ozt.... Not to bad... I'm not in it to make money off these assets, I like to call it idle money😂... I have stocks and crypto that make me money and my retirement of course.. full retirement around the corner soon🤞... either way I'm not in it to make tons of money and I do try to mitigate potential risk as well as losing money to downward prices.. that's kind of why I haven't really been buying much gold in the last six months or so other than a couple of 1/10 pieces..

    One other aspect you can always think of to is that the commercial loans expiring those businesses are going to have to refinance at a way higher rate which means it's going to be a lot of bankruptcies in Banks aren't going to be able to get their money's and then on top of the bank's not getting their money's you got the FED raising rates which is killing the bonds that the banks own and more banks are going to collapse so if the banks are going to collapse who's bailing out the banks the government's the government's going to have to print a lot of money to make people and balances whole therefore if money-printing is being done the value of the dollar is going to go up. So there is going to be two phases of gold going up as one when this scenario happens and then the other is when the fiscal responsibility of the government fails. My prediction is in 2024 gold can get up to 2300 announce and in the end when the government collapses gold will be somewhere between 10,000 and 15000 an ounce

    I understand the desire to pick up precious metals, but as a wealth preservation action. To see precious metals as an 'investment', there are just too many other ways that are much better choices. I'd rather spend the money to 'protect' my wealth picking up precious metals, than parking money in a savings account. Aside from regular investment programs, precious metals is just a part of that plan, as a 'fall back' for prolonged wealth insurance.
    What's surprising to me is the deals available for platinum. I see it as a seriously under valued option with a high likelihood to become a preferred industrial use option. As far as value retention, I see that as an option that also may turn into a better 'investment' opportunity than a good number of index funds over the next 3-6 years.

    Gold and silver are good bets, but don't put all you eggs in one basket. Most people recommend a 5 to 10% allocation in precious metals. I believe it should be higher up to about 30%. There is so much risk in the world that a higher allocation than what most people recommend is warranted. Your remaining around 70% or more should be in U.S. Treasuries (inflation indexed are best), energy, agriculture, staples, and natural resources; they should do well when everything else is falling. Keep some cash available and deployable as conditions develop. Keep in mind that you don't have to own all bullion. Miners are a good mix along with bullion with even greater potential up side than bullion by itself.

Anyone can do that. The main limitation for any of these is storage and security. But there are reasonable solutions for this.

    Pension, insurance, and retirement managers are primarily allocated (>50%) in long-dated sovereign bonds (think US 10-yr Treasuries, but I'm not only talking about US pensions). Given that interest rates are at historic highs and long bonds are getting crushed so badly that banks are failing, these retirement funds are going to have to pivot out of sovereign debt.
    What can they pivot to? According to Rick Rule, current allocations of retirement funds in gold is around 0.5%, and the historic average allocation is about 2% (with a peak at 6% in 1971). If retirement funds (we're talking tens of TRILLIONS) mean revert to 2%, that means demand for gold will quadruple. Seriously guys. 250,000 tons of gold have ever been found in all of history, worth $16 trillion at $2000/oz. What would happen to the gold price if $1 trillion suddenly appeared in the market trying to buy it?
    Just don't forget to sell half of your stack at $10,000/oz, friends.

    All I am going to say is the currency buying power is worse, gold is considered a tier one asset and is stockpiled by central banks all over the world and is used to stabilise their currency and as a means of international settlement, yes it reflects the state of the economy and is in a downward trend at this movement in time and I expect that to continue until may 2026 when it will bottom out along with everything else, so what price will it be, I would say 1200 per ounce, then it becomes a buying opportunity of a lifetime along with silver, then when the gov. under the WEF agenda goes to a digital currency and cash is no more, then you will see the metal price be revalued to a much higher price and the sky then becomes the limit, of course you can do what the gov. expects you to do and sell all your metals and lose your potential to really make a profit, or wait and let it ride, its totally your choice.

    An interesting comparison might be to look at peoples spending, Stacking vs. Luxury/Material goods. I would think in most cases, you are at much less risk to loose as much money buying Precious Metals as opposed to trying to get cash from selling your unessential/luxury goods.
    Do you really need that second $5k carbon mountain bike, or iis the $2k bike enough, and the rest of that money would be better going to; investments/cashfund/PreciousMetals?
    With unessential luxury goods like (bikes, fancy clothes/sneakers, jewelry, cars, etc) you will likely have trouble recouping even 70% of their original purchase price even if they are nearly new (Ebay, craigslist, Pawn Shop). Where on the other hand people complain about PMs and call out loosing out on Premiums when having to sell their PMs (like to an LCS). You are probably talking in the range of 10-20% loss selling PMs by comparison (if PM prices stay consistent).
