gooses consumption. It also punishes both savers and cautious
investors.
The elites’ fondness for inflation isn’t going to change.
That’s why I recommend owning a sleeve of physical gold —

allows you to capture each metal’s proven characteristics as a
store of wealth, inflation hedge, currency hedge and industrial
input.

physical metal; it’s physical bullion stored in an insured, non-
bank vault in Delaware. It’s 100% bullion, it’s not a fund, not
a derivative and not “paper gold.”
