The Investment Potential of Gold with American Gold Exchange’s Dana Samuelson

Why is gold valuable and how does it hedge against economic uncertainties? Gold's imperviousness, scarcity, and historical use as money make it valuable. It serves as a store of value, protects against government actions and inflation, and acts as a portable, risk-free form of wealth. Gold also hedges against stock movements with its inverse correlation to traditional assets.

American Gold Exchange President Dana Samuelson has spent 42 years trading precious metals and rare U.S. gold and silver coins. He joins podcast hosts Jim and Bob to discuss the factors driving the current bull market in gold, from increased central bank buying to concerns about the stewardship of currency, as well as different ways to invest in gold, such as physical coins, ETFs, and mining stocks. He explains the numismatic value of vintage coins and the potential impact of gold's utility in various industries, highlighting the role of gold as a tangible asset and a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Gold in an IRA is a good idea, but it's important to deal with a trusted seller who offers the right products at the right pricing. He reveals why it is important to have a dealer that has the client's interests at heart because some sellers of precious metals take advantage of unsuspecting clients by selling collector items at higher prices. Gaining yield on gold can be achieved through strategies like selling call spreads. He also reveals why the culture for gold is stronger in Asia and India compared to the US.
