Why financial advisers should line their portfolios with gold
More and more, it is becoming a mainstay in the financial business that the wise investor and/or financial advisor embrace gold as a means to capital preservation in a rapidly changing and increasingly dangerous investment climate. In Cazenove Capital’s case, it is emphasizing gold as a hedge against geopolitical turbulence. “Speaking at a Schroders breakfast briefing yesterday (January 22),” reports Financial Times, “Janet Mui, global economist at Cazenove Capital, said she thought investing in gold was the best way for advisers and fund managers to hedge the risks in their portfolios. She said: ‘Gold has the feature of portfolio hedging and diversification. Gold should be in your portfolio.’”

What you need to know before you invest in gold
Initial guidelines for first-time investors from one of America’s top gold experts
New to the idea of including gold in your investment portfolio?
If so, this is the page for you.
If you are new to the idea of gold ownership, you might be looking for a little guidance. We, at USAGOLD, have been in the gold business for a good many years, and the one thing that stands out to us in working with so many over the years is how often investors, for one reason or another, get off to a bad start.
That is why we developed a question and answer page many years ago that delves into the subject of GETTING OFF TO THE RIGHT START. We update it regularly as things can change rapidly in the gold and silver markets. The page is linked above, and we recommend that newcomers spend the few minutes it takes to get through it.…
This page receives considerably high-ranking from Google on a number of important searches, and we like to think it’s because of the cause it serves – providing some positive direction to investors trying to get off to a solid start in their pursuit of gold ownership.

They also want to know when a particular market is going to open or close in areas where gold might experience an influx of buyer or seller interest.

Gold Trading Hours is one of the quiet pages at USAGOLD that garners significant global interest.

Charles DeGaulle’s famous ‘Criterion’ speech
Given the increasing frequency and severity of international currency imbroglios and one emerging nation-state after another falling into monetary disrepair, it is not difficult to visualize more and more of these states looking to hold gold in their reserves as a matter of national defense. One recalls Charles DeGaulle’s famous criterion speech on gold in this context. Though such a holding would not cure internal problems derived from excessive debt and the debasement of their own currencies, it would offer something of a shield for all nation-states against the currency debasement of other nation-states, just as it does for private investors who take the same course of action.

Black SwansYellowGold
A chronology of panics, mania, crashes, and collapses
–– 400 BC to present ––
Those who think it can’t happen here, or that it’s different this time around, should take note of the number of black swan events in American history alone. The record is formidable. Gold ownership is traditionally a form of battening down the hatches against these recurring storms and, for the minority who adhere to it, an effective and ever-ready defense. Historian Stanford University historian Niall Ferguson summed up what a good many were thinking in the wake of the 2008 meltdown when he said, “Those few goldbugs who always doubted the soundness of fiat money – paper currency without a metal anchor – have in large measure been vindicated. But why were the rest of us so blinded by money illusion?” Why indeed. . . And why is that blindness still at play in the current crisis?

How gold performs during periods of deflation,
disinflation, stagflation and hyperinflation
“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is
the most important of all the lessons of history.”
–– Aldous Huxley ––
Though Huxley’s observation is readily applied to humanity collectively, it does not apply so easily to individual investors. As justification, we offer the ongoing (and long-term) success of the USAGOLD website as well as the soaring statistics on the growth of private gold ownership over the past decade both in the United States and abroad, inspired directly by the lessons learned from financial market upheaval. The following short essays are dedicated to the safe-haven gold investor who, like noted financial author Nicholas Taleb, believes that it is just as important to prepare for what we cannot foresee as what we can.

Gold Trends and Indicators
Live charts that make it easy to monitor gold market history and correlations
Our Gold Trends and Indicators page was first constructed many years ago to serve a specific need. At the time, there was no single place a client, or prospective client, could go to monitor statistical categories and correlations relevant to gold ownership. This page filled that need with interactive, automatically updating charts that featured gold’s annual returns; one-year, ten-year, and long-term price charts; correlations like gold and the purchasing power of the dollar, gold and the S&P 500 and gold and the volatility index (to name a few); and, real rates of return over the long term on gold and the dollar. It remains a favorite reference among serious investors and students of the gold market to this day. We believe it to be particularly useful to the prospective gold buyer who wants to understand the history of gold under various circumstances as part of the due diligence process.
