The No-Home-Storage-IRA Myth: Why the IRS Requires a Depository

A home storage gold IRA sounds convenient, but the IRS doesn't allow it. This piece walks through why: the 2021 Tax Court case that settled the question, what Section 408(m)(3) actually requires, and the two-step compliant path — custodian, then depository — for holding gold and silver in a retirement account....
Jobs report revisions and the gold price: a printed employment table with one figure crossed out and corrected by hand.

The BLS Revised April Up 64,000, Then Down 31,000. Gold Traded the First Print.

August payrolls beat every published forecast by more than 100,000, and gold sold off on it. But the BLS has revised this same series by nearly as much, twice this year, in both directions. Horizon, not accuracy, is the variable a holder controls....
Gold bars and silver coins beside a red downward stock chart, illustrating why gold and silver dropped today

Gold’s Drop Was the Easy Story. The Bond Market’s Non-Reaction Is the Real One.

August payrolls tripled forecasts, and gold and silver fell within minutes. But the bond market barely moved, positioning was already stretched, and gold miners fell nearly four times harder than gold itself. Here's what actually happened, thread by thread....
August jobs report gold silver reaction: 162,000 print crosses out 53,000 forecast

Gold and Silver Drop as August Payrolls Blow Past Forecasts. Four Other Threads Moved Today Too.

August payrolls landed at 162,000 against a 53,000 consensus, and gold and silver felt it immediately. Four other threads moved the same morning: silver's fight to hold $65 support, AI showing up in the jobs data, central bank buying, and a widely shared claim about gold overtaking Treasuries that doesn't hold up....
A plain metal coin balanced on its edge on dark stone, representing the coin-flip odds in the Waller rate hike gold price debate.

The Fed Just Priced Out Half a Rate Hike. Gold Barely Noticed.

September rate hike odds fell to roughly 50.3% after Fed Governor Christopher Waller signalled he could support a hold. Gold barely responded. It had already banked a 2.4% gain before he spoke, then slipped. Here is which channel is actually driving the metal, and what August CPI decides....
Stacked gold and silver bars on a dark wood desk with a glowing upward price chart line trailing behind them, illustrating gold futures net long positioning and today's rally in gold and silver

Gold Up, Silver Up. The Five Reasons Behind It Don’t All Agree.

Speculators are still adding to gold and silver, an Indian tariff quirk is quietly redirecting demand toward Dubai, and three desks cannot agree on September rate-hike odds. Even the exchange running the trades has its own read on why any of this holds into fall....
Split image contrasting an empty boardroom chair with a solid gold bar, illustrating the Barrick IPO delay and the governance risk that comes with owning mining equity instead of physical gold.

Barrick Just Delayed Its Biggest Move in Years. Gold Isn’t Why.

Barrick is pushing its North American gold IPO from 2026 into 2027. The real cause is a shareholder revolt against Chairman John Thornton, not the price of gold, and it says a lot about equity risk....
Gold ETF Outflows Came From One Region. The Buying Came From Everywhere Else.

Gold ETF Outflows Came From One Region. The Buying Came From Everywhere Else.

Gold ETF outflows in 2026 were not a market-wide verdict on gold. They came from one region. North America was the only region in net outflow across the first half, while Asia recorded its strongest first half on record. Here is what the regional split says about owning gold in paper form versus physical....
Cast gold bars racked in rows on steel vault shelving, the sovereign holdings at the center of who is selling gold

Gold’s Sellers Are Trading Weeks. Its Buyers Are Counting Decades.

Five developments inside 48 hours split the gold market in two. A sovereign relocated 86 tonnes, two banks read one positioning dataset to opposite conclusions, and a soft payrolls print moved the premise the sellers were trading on. The cohorts are not the same people....
Trading desk monitor showing a nearly flat gold price chart, illustrating gold not reacting to the Iran war despite this week's escalation.

The Iran War Just Got Worse. Gold Barely Noticed.

Gold and silver crashed when the U.S.-Iran conflict escalated Tuesday, then barely moved when it got worse Wednesday. The real driver isn't the war — it's Fed rate-hike odds, already elevated before the strikes began, and what they mean for holding non-yielding metals....

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
