Gold has gotten way more value since this video,,,,

Gold is the only save asset👌

Everything is point of view you can find people who says good is the best investment at this time you can find others who said stay away from it on all of them has their own perfect explanation.

This whole geopolitical situation has me thinking more about diversifying away from just stocks and bonds, especially with Trump's threats toward Europe. Thor Metals Group helps people buy physical gold and silver which seems pretty relevant right now.

It wasn’t unprovoked …. The west , NATO and okraine was working hard on it to get to Russians move .
Other than that it’s a good video .

Iran war knocked gold, silver, pallidum and platinum down

'Russia's unprovoked attack'? I suppose they attacked at random.

That huge gold bar on your desk is not real is it? ;)

Great video, it helped me on investigating if gold is a good addition to my portfolio

One of the best video i seen about gold.. i will definitively not invest on gold

No one knows where the stock market is going in 20 years either. Remember the 70s?

Really thoughtful video. I liked that you separated gold as insurance from gold as a return engine, because people blur that constantly. For anyone who still prefers physical metal, Thor Metals Group only sources through US Mint-listed providers, and that kind of sourcing discipline matters more than flashy sales talk in my view.

Missed out owning gold for leasing to companies for actual use - gives a return while giving long term stability.

So much for your safe haven. The good news is you now know you don't know Jack.

The best time to buy some low index funds for those who know 😉🍀🔔

You should have bought gold years ago when you were told it was foolish. Now is the time to acquire capital goods and energy. When production collapses so will the purchasing power of gold. Capital goods as a buffer.

Not true if 4 years ago you bought 5 ounces of gold it would cost you roughly $10000 dollars now in 2026 5 ounces of gold cost $25000$$!!!! That's 15000 dollars in profit!!! And imagine holding them for 15 or 20 years !!!!😂

Damn, you are good

09:16 - great editing

Gold is NOT going up. The upside has already happened. Too late now

Not sure you mentioned anything about being taxed on your gold profits. Alot of people seem to forget about that

Gold and silver investment expected profitable than some stock markets .with the war now crazy 😅 currencies will get weakens and loss the value for long term .

Gold is for war and war is looming world wide. Iran conflict. Upcoming Cuba, Taiwan and ….. africa will turn again in a theater

Russia was provoked by nato a little bit.

Because of trump we are in the Golden age. Don't listen to this guy putting them down. He's the reason we're all make it out well

Gold is a no1 asset ranked by market cap

Unprovoked invasion of Ukraine? You need to get your facts correct. Ignorant.

Did he say yes or no

But why it goes down now?

Челу из Риги привет из спб))) не боись, всё будет нормально

“Don’t buy gold to make profit. Buy diversified etfs”. Gold = 25% in 3 months, 85% in 12 mths. Vanguard 500- 10.94% in 12 months.

with the gold i want to start collecting im sure i will turn into a dragon

6 min in and i'm thinking maybe i should just buy cows instead of gold.

If you buy a ETC and you are German be aware of the difference of ownership. If the fund holds physical gold you can save taxes.

Please read: Ray Dalio / the changing world order. Maybe the timeframe in your video is too short and maybe we are in a critical fase in history (stage 6 of the cycle), which means a larger part of your portfolio in physical gold

I paid $2000 an oz for my gold. That same gold is now $7000 an oz, so tell me how gold doesn't make money.

Gold is better than bonds at least. Pretty much anything is.

The best talk .

Every month is a good time to buy.

I really want to get into investing but I don’t know where to start at, can someone tell me?

Poor take. You’re completely ignoring the elephant in the room with currency debasement and changing/fall of a US dollar global currency. Hard assets will be the only way people survive that event when it eventually comes.

Gold historically retains the same purchasing power over centuries unlike an ALWAYS falling FIAT. Govt regularly encourages landlords with cheap loans then screws them for tax. 1st priority is shelter, food and water under your control with no debt. Have all you need to grow, process and store food, to keep warm drink good water and have a reason to get up each day....

What about Trump's threatening stance on Iran and His warships in their waters, if he attacs wont the Gold price go up?

Not everyone can afford to get into real estate. I feel like metals are a good psychological tool. A little physical emergency fund in your pocket.

But I think it's better to have gold than to have money sitten in a bank account. That is, if you don't know what to do with the money if it's a smaller amount or you don't have enough to invest. Will a recession eat up your money or not? I'm asking all this in case you have a smaller amount of money sitting around for years and you're just keeping it for safety.
