The Gold Market Is Mostly Paper. Dubai Disagrees.

Three allocated gold bars stamped A15846, A15847, and A15848 — each marked 999.9 fine gold — stacked on a vault shelf, illustrating the difference between allocated vs unallocated gold ownership.

Most gold doesn’t move when it’s “traded” — it changes hands as a ledger entry in an unallocated account. A new report shows Dubai is building a different system entirely, where ownership means a specific bar, not a claim on a pool. Here’s what the difference means for your portfolio.

Central Bank Digital Currencies are already in active pilots across 137 countries. For gold investors, the real risk isn’t inflation — it’s that programmable money could quietly block access to precious metals altogether.

France’s Gold Repatriation Is Done. Germany Is Next

France sold 129 tonnes of gold held at the US Federal Reserve and replaced them with higher-quality bars in Paris — booking $15 billion in gains. It’s the latest move in a quiet global trend: central banks pulling sovereign gold out of American vaults.

The ETF Illusion: What Gold Investors Must Know

Most investors think they own gold. But according to expert Alan Hibbard, much of it might not be what it seems.  In this revealing Big Biz interview, Alan breaks down the quiet — but growing — divide between paper gold (like ETFs) and true physical bullion. He also outlines how a shift to digital currency and a long-overdue audit of U.S. gold reserves could shock the system and ignite a massive revaluation.  If you want real protection, real value, and real gold — you need to watch this.

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.
