Is Now a Good Time to Buy Gold? Here's the Macro Case

Gold has pulled back 13–14% from its January all-time high of $5,589. The dollar is weakening, the IMF has cut its growth forecast, and central banks bought 863 tonnes of gold in 2025. Here’s what the macro picture is signaling.

The 1970s Gold & Silver Bull Run: Causes, Returns, and Lessons for Investors

The 1970s gold and silver bull run remains one of the most dramatic wealth events of the 20th century. Gold rose 2,300%. Silver gained 400% in a single year.

Silver Holds Near $80 as Iran Ceasefire Revives Rate-Cut Bets

Silver surged more than 5% Tuesday and is holding near $80 — the highest level since March. The move isn’t simple. When the US and Israel launched their air campaign against Iran, gold fell 10% instead of rising. The reason was oil, the Strait of Hormuz, and an inflation shock that killed rate-cut expectations. The Iran ceasefire is now reversing all three dynamics at once — and silver is responding through both its monetary and industrial demand channels. Here’s the mechanism, the data, and the one date every precious metals investor should have on their radar.

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.
