If you don’t own any gold, this is a must-read

[RiskHedge Roundup] Have you seen the gold price lately? If you read [Monday’s RiskHedge Report](, you know commodity prices across the board are flying high. Lumber… copper… aluminum… even soybeans are rocketing… Gold is surging, too. In fact, the yellow metal just crossed $1,900/ounce... and is closing in on its all-time high of $2,067 set last year. Take a look: Source: StockCharts Gold isn’t as exciting as some of the disruptive tech names we normally feature… but don’t let that deter you. We urge everyone to own at least a little bit of physical gold. That’s because gold is a store of wealth that’s independent of the financial system. Unlike the US dollars in your bank account, the value of gold can’t be eroded through inflation. The real question is: Do you trust politicians with your financial future? Always keep in mind, the value of the dollar isn’t tied to anything “real.” It depends on several factors you can’t control. The #1 factor is this: The government creates dollars out of thin air through borrowing and spending. The more they create, the less the dollars in your bank account are worth. So, when you keep 100% of your cash in US dollars... you’re essentially betting that politicians will act responsibly with the nation’s finances. That’s been a bad bet, historically. Our Chief Analyst Stephen McBride elaborates: Why do I own gold? Easy… US debt has ballooned to over $20 trillion. It will never, ever be repaid. So, instead of repaying its debts, the US government inflates away its obligations by quietly killing the US dollar. In fact, by the government’s own numbers, the dollar has declined nearly 90% over the past 50 years! If you know your hard-earned savings are decaying every year… why would you hold it all in dollars? Unlike the US dollar, gold is an excellent store of wealth over long periods. By holding some of your savings in gold, you’re taking back control of your finances. Politicians can’t “inflate” away the value of gold. That’s why gold has held its value for thousands of years… while many paper “monies” since the Roman Empire have gone to zero.
