Ten Percent Sent Gold Abroad. Nine Percent Brought It Home.

The financial press says central banks are bringing their gold home. The World Gold Council asked 76 of them, and the numbers run the other way: more spread gold into additional foreign jurisdictions last year than repatriated it. What that says about custody, and about how you hold your own metal....

What Is the Permanent Portfolio? Harry Browne’s 25% Gold Allocation Explained

Most advisors cap gold at 5–15% of a portfolio. Harry Browne's Permanent Portfolio puts it at a full 25%. This piece unpacks why he drew the line there, how the strategy held up in 2008, the 1970s, and 2022, and what the honest case against it looks like....

Australian Gold Kangaroo: The Bullion Coin Backed by an Act of Parliament

Perth Mint's flagship bullion coin changes its reverse almost every year, which is the least interesting thing about it.

What Is Sound Money? Why the Dollar Lost 87% of Its Value Since 1971

Vault Storage vs. Gold ETFs: Who Owns the Gold You Paid For?

A gold ETF share and a bar in a vault sound like the same investment. They're not. One is a claim on a trust that only Authorized Participants can redeem for metal; the other is allocated ownership you can verify. Here's what each option actually gives you, and what it costs....

Gold Price Outlook August 2026: What Three Data Prints in One Week Mean for Your Metals

Gold is up 10% in August from near $4,000 — its best monthly gain since January. Three data prints in one week flipped the September rate-hike calculus: jobs, CPI, and PPI all came in soft. Hike odds fell from 50% to 31%. Central banks bought a quarterly record 288.9 tonnes in Q2 even as prices fell.

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.
