Is everyone getting ready for Spring?

A few days ago, someone asked me a question about gold and silver.

I thought, why not include it in the next newsletter?

Most people think Gold is safe, right? A hedge against inflation. A crisis-proof asset.

Then why are most gold investors losing money?

The Hidden Cost of Going All-In on Gold & Silver

Gold and silver have long been considered safe-haven assets. When markets crash, inflation soars, or uncertainty rises, people rush to buy gold.

Sounds smart—until you realize the hidden cost of going all-in.

Let’s rewind to 1980.

Imagine you took every dollar you had and put it into gold. Smart move? Not exactly.

Gold peaked at $850 an ounce in 1980… and then went nowhere.

For the next 30 years, gold’s price barely moved. By 2005, it was still trading at around $400-$500 per ounce.

If you went all-in on gold, you would have lost decades of growth.

Meanwhile, the stock market?

The S&P 500 10X’d in that same period. A $10,000 investment in stocks would have grown to over $100,000.

Real estate? Home values skyrocketed, rental properties generated income, and equity built wealth.

Gold and silver protect wealth. But they don’t build it.

So, What’s the Smart Strategy?

Gold is a tool, not a wealth-building strategy. While it has its place in a portfolio, going all-in on gold and silver is a mistake if your goal is to build lasting wealth.

Instead, smart investors use a balanced approach that includes three key components:

1. Growth Assets – The Foundation of Wealth Building

Gold may hold value, but it doesn’t grow your money. If you want to build long-term wealth, you need assets that appreciate over time.

• Stocks & ETFs – Investing in broad stock market indices like the S&P 500 historically returns 7-10% per year. Compare that to gold, which often moves sideways for decades.

• Real Estate – Unlike gold, real estate generates equity growth and rental income. A property bought for $200,000 today could be worth $400,000+ in 30 years—while also paying you monthly.

• Businesses – Owning a business or investing in startups can yield far greater returns than gold ever will. The biggest wealth builders—Buffett, Bezos, Musk—aren’t stacking gold, they’re building assets that grow.

2. Cash Flow Assets – Make Your Money Work for You

Gold just sits there. It doesn’t pay you.

Smart investors prioritize cash flow assets that generate passive income while also appreciating in value:

• Dividend Stocks – Stocks that pay regular dividends give you income while your investment grows. Imagine getting $500, $1,000, or $5,000/month in dividends—without selling a single stock.

• Rental Properties – Unlike gold, real estate generates rent payments every month. This provides consistent income and long-term equity growth.

• High-Yield Investments – Bonds, REITs, and income funds provide steady payouts that reinvest and compound over time.

3. Inflation Hedges – Protect, But Don’t Rely On It

Gold and silver protect wealth, but they shouldn’t be your entire strategy.

• Gold & Silver – Use them as a hedge (5-10% of your portfolio) to guard against inflation and economic crises.

• Commodities & Crypto – Assets like oil, agricultural products, and even Bitcoin can act as inflation hedges that diversify your portfolio.

• Hard Assets – Farmland, and precious metals store value in uncertain times.

The Bottom Line: Build, Grow, and Protect

Gold isn’t bad—but it’s not enough.

The wealthiest people don’t just store money in gold. They:

• Invest in growth assets to multiply their wealth.

• Use cash flow assets to create passive income.

• Hedge with gold & inflation-proof investments—but never go all-in.

If you want real financial freedom, you need a strategy that builds and protects wealth—without relying on one shiny metal.
