Gold Outperforms Expectations, Challenges Buffett’s “Unproductive Asset” Label

Gold has broken through the $3,000 per ounce barrier, extending a remarkable 75% rally that began in November 2022.

This surge reflects growing global instability and has attracted diverse investors from private individuals to central banks.

Key drivers include political uncertainty under President Trump, increasing stagflation risks, anticipated Fed rate cuts, and central banks diversifying away from the US dollar.

In the short term, traders are watching for signs of US stagflation and impacts from Trump’s tariff policies to potentially push prices even higher, challenging Warren Buffett’s famous criticism of gold as an “unproductive asset.”

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.
