7 Timeless Warren Buffett Rules for Gold & Silver Investors

Two Credit Suisse gold bars resting on a worn copy of Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor — the foundational text behind Warren Buffett's investment principles — alongside handwritten financial notes on a dark walnut desk.

Warren Buffett has avoided gold for decades — but his 7 core investment principles map almost perfectly onto the long-term case for owning physical gold and silver. Here’s how the Oracle of Omaha’s rules apply to precious metals investors.

You Don’t Need a Printing Press to Crash a Currency

Hyperinflation doesn’t always start at the printing press. When people stop trusting a currency, its purchasing power can collapse overnight. History — from Weimar to Zimbabwe — shows why gold endures when faith in paper money fails.

Why Fiat Currency Fails and Gold Endures

Every fiat currency in history has lost purchasing power over time. This guide explains why the system is structurally fragile, what history tells us about monetary collapse, and why gold and silver have protected wealth for thousands of years.

What Is Velocity of Currency — and Why It Matters

What Is Velocity of Currency — and Why It Matters

The Fed has created trillions in new currency. So why doesn’t inflation always follow immediately? The answer is velocity — and understanding it changes everything about how you read today’s economic headlines.

Why Fiat Currencies Fail — And Why Gold Still Wins

Every fiat currency ever created has eventually failed — no exceptions. Mike Maloney explains the pattern, why 1971 changed everything, and what it means for investors who want to protect their wealth with gold and silver.

Currency Debasement

When governments debase their currency, the economic fallout is only half the story. History shows a darker pattern: monetary collapse wipes out the middle class, fear fills the vacuum, and dictators rise. Mike Maloney traces this thread from Weimar Germany to today.

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.
