Steven Feldman maintains that investors should consider gold because it functions as a critical hedge against global monetary debasement and geopolitical instability.

“the gold and silver trade is monetary debasement, which is seems inevitable.”

Gold acts as a crucial portfolio stabilizer that balances equity risk and provides a hedge against currency depreciation over the long term.

“And this is why I think gold solves a problem that no other such asset class is actually able to solve in your portfolio.”

Gold acts as a necessary backup asset when moving away from the dollar in times of geopolitical instability.

“Now the game really starts because if you are now going away from the dollar, we still need a backup. What is the backup? Gold.”

Gold should be held as part of a balanced portfolio to hedge against market uncertainty and risk.

“And the reason that I bought it was to make sure that I had some balance. But like I said, it's typically a hedge against a market that is filled with uncertainty and risk.”

Gold is a useful insurance policy and hedge for investors, but it should be purchased as part of a balanced strategy.

“with people that invested last year like you, the year before, the year before, these are people that have made stock market gains almost in in gold and silver, which is like supposed to be >> it's a it's a insurance policy. It's not meant to go up like a stock.”

Investors should not expect the high double-digit annual returns seen recently to continue, but rather anticipate long-term returns closer to 5-6%.

“Don't buy gold expecting it to deliver 50% per annum. It's much more likely to deliver over the long term five or 6%.”

While precious metals serve as a long-term hedge, current market conditions with hyperbolic price moves make fresh investment unfavorable.

“this may be not the apt time to get into gold and silver because you've had such a fantastic run in the precious metals over the last uh year or two uh that it's time to step back.”

Gold has become historically overstretched and requires a significant correction or period of consolidation.

“gold is very much to me and and reaching $4,000 an ounce is so stretched historically.”

Gold is in a powerful bull market and will reach 17,250 dollars per ounce by 2030.

“We will see gold at 17,250.”

Gold is a strong long-term investment that may reach $10,000 an ounce by 2035.

“I see by 2035 I will not be surprised if this gold touches $10,000 an ounce”

Dana Samuelson believes gold prices will continue to appreciate, potentially doubling again if significant economic or geopolitical crises occur.

“I do think we're we're going to go higher and part of me is worried that you know, we could get a double because of thing bad things happening.”
