It is basically a bet against central banks.

What about inheritance tax? You have control of an asset that you can pass on outside the control of banks. Even with an ISA when you die the transfer of wealth will be taxed.

no, gold is worse then sewage water

Fugazi, it's all imaginary money. A kilo gold under your pillow is a good reserve if the system breaks down

Gold is a good investment because I just travelled in time 6 months and its worth 10400 from 80000

Well done mate 👏 the end was golden

Gold is dear today
Cheap tomorrow
My first sovereign was five pounds
Today I would pay over 1 000

you forget 2025 was turning point from USD as reserve to gold , which is a huge factor that will impact the future of gold prices , that was not a factor on the past 50 years you discussed here.

The gold price has been artificially held down by the creation of "paper gold contracts". You need to differentiate between real gold (coins) and paper gold. One is real and has no counter-party, and the other one is worthless if there is no actual gold backing it (which is the case for 86% of all gold paper).

A bit of gold wont hurt anyone

I didnt know I needed this until now ??

Terrible video. Naive at best.

So I can buy a piece of paper that says I own gold and make money off that even though there is 20 times+ more gold on paper then exists in the world? What an awesome scam!!! Cool.

I think you may have missed apart of the hedge against inflation part. You kinda touched on it- but in the most explicit sense I can describe- if domestic inflation makes the local currency worth less, and gold is based on a global market, it gives you an asset that’s a step away from your local currency (any local currency) in a way many others aren’t.

Thanks for this video Damien, it would be great to see a similar analysis on Bitcoin and crypto!

I buy Gold anr silver not for investment to be rich for my self, but to slowly increase wealth for my kids. To me sll i buy is Hold Silver and land.

I can tell you have not lived through a currency or a complete and total state collapse, and I hope you don’t. But when the USSR collapsed, people lost EVERYTHING. Pensions, life savings - cash was worthless as napkins, government bonds were worthless, even real estate was hitting rock bottom. You could only save assets by having gold and dollars, the latter was much harder to obtain and also much easier to loose or carry logistically. You have lived only through minor crises compared to your ancestors. Gold is indeed a safe haven. Go ask people that try to flee war, what do they carry with them.

Gimme some gold

I think people forget... If the world ends, the only currencies will be: water, food, shelter and energy.

Gold is for "massive shit happening in the world" fund. You just have it as a secure portion of your money in case that hell lets loose.

who is the most reputable dealer to sell gold to in the UK? where to store gold? a bank or at home? thank you.

It might not be income producing but like BTC and real estate you can take loans out on your Gold & apply the borrow buy die strategy?

This aged well! 😄

Its October 2025 The price has grown by 51% in the last 12 months. The answer is Yes. Its is a good investment.

'Income producing' relies on people to pay, if AI takes jobs, less people will be able to afford rent. Property is not an easy path. It's alot of work, and can and does Go Down.
(Stock)Dividends fall if cash flows become irregular, or disrupted. Gold has more hedging potential against not so black swan events, like AI, Robotics, and mass unemployment - all fairly likely in a city near you soon.

What about a 100 year view. History tends to repeat itself. I agre with Ray Dalio, Warren Buffett and Howard Marks that a stock market decline is due, re high PEs etc In the case of a correction soon ish, Gold may do much better than holding equities and cash, thoughts?

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.

I really like you and your channel. You have a lot of great ideas and thoughts. I sent some money to you after your horrific attack. I think you are way wrong on your overall view of gold though...

The only time when gold will be worth it is when the dollar is no more. But when the dollar is no more, the modern system we currently have will also be no more. Gold is not an investment, it is a hedge against inflation with no risk except a home invasion.
Ultimately you should have some just in case and maybe 5-7% of your wealth when you retire with 3% gold/bond linked stocks. Lastly, you should have gold similar metals used in modern and old things like cobalt/platinum/silver and Gems. I'd say only 1% of your wealth on that

With Ai and the complete shake up of the job market in the next ten years gold is looking very tasty

One other drawback with gold is that it has no taste. I had a bit on my sachertorte a few days ago.

Gold is more like saving than investment. Investments are meant to increase in value overtime. Gold is meant to preserve value. Its not the same.

Analysing gold based on pre-2000 data is misleading. The economies of the west are facing unprecedented strain as they all have below replacement birth rates and massive baby boomer retirements. The combination of these are crushing.

Bought several: 12 qty -1/4 American Gold Eagles (3 ounces) and 5 qty - $10 Indian Gold Eagle today

The video is misleading, gold should be purchased to generate income. It’s a hedge fund. The value of gold maintains whilst currency will always devalue (and by default increase the value of gold). I would encourage videos to do more research than just this video.

Well it's certainly doing very well recently silver too apparently
