Gold and silver are where everyone will put their money as savings come under threat. EU citizens should save in gold, silver and bitcoin because Ursula von der Leyen is about to go after their savings amid stagnation and rights restrictions. Luke Gromen notes the dollar has fallen 93% measured in gold since September 2001. x.com x.comÂ
Gold is a better home for retirement savings now because bad assets get dumped into pension funds and savers can be left with nothing. x.comÂ
Gold faces confiscation risk that Bitcoin held through memorized seed words may avoid. Americans had to surrender gold for $20.67 an ounce in 1933; a year later it was priced at $35. That risk does not overturn owning both. x.comÂ
Gold is hard to hold at a 0% yield while interest rates keep rising. @Mr_Derivatives notes gold's 3.93% drop at the close was the fifth-worst drawdown of the year, driven by rates. x.comÂ
Gold looks like the safest place to go defensive now. Geopolitics are bad, the market is losing key support, inflation will be hard to avoid and rate cuts are less likely. Gold has had a breather and is back on support, while trends look broken on many other assets and do not reverse easily. Returns may not be the best, but this is a time when safety matters more. x.comÂ
Gold is worth accumulating steadily as a hard-currency household reserve against sudden upheaval or disaster, not as a trade. Physical bars kept in a bank vault are easier to hold than paper gold or index funds, which sell with a click. Gold's pullback from 5,400 to 4,365 meets the rule of buying early on every 20% drop, and investment bars have vanished or sold out on the apps of major Chinese state banks, possibly from heavy dip-buying. x.comÂ
Gold is falling because a resilient, accelerating economy pushes yields and the dollar higher, and no one wants safe havens in a risk-on market. The Citigroup Economic Surprise Index is accelerating, and yields are rising even as crude falls, so the move reflects growth rather than inflation fears; the bond market is giving the Fed permission to hike. Gold, precious metals, Treasuries and defensive stocks have slumped, with staples and utilities at all-time lows relative to the S&P 500. x.comÂ
Gold is the best protection against a big shock as the world economy feels more fragile than before. Bond yields, government debt, AI funding and the geopolitical situation are all concerning, so gold, rather than bonds, is the asset worth holding alongside stocks. x.comÂ
Gold is extremely attractive now because rising market fear could make it a great hedge. It has fallen nearly 30% from its January all-time high and returned to the accumulation zone. If this level holds, expect a bounce soon. x.comÂ
There is no reason to hold gold. x.comÂ
Gold bottoms before other assets because gold investors anticipate another bailout and inevitable money printing, as in 2008. x.comÂ
