Gold and silver have been wealth insurance for thousands of years.<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s ironic, but bankers and fiscally irresponsible governments despise gold and silver. Why? Because precious metals demand accountability, that’s why.<\/p>\n

In short, gold-backed currencies force responsible governments to live within their means.<\/p>\n

That is precisely why in 1971 Richard Nixon was forced to nullify the Bretton Woods agreement<\/a>, which was signed at the end of World War II, and permanently close the gold window.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, Nixon felt he had no choice. The US had been living well beyond its means for more than a decade, printing lots of federal reserve notes to pay for expensive endeavors the country couldn’t truly afford, like the Vietnam War and LBJ’s so-called “War on Poverty.” That, in turn, led to an increasingly devalued US dollar. So, in order to preserve their wealth, many of the world’s central banks — led by West Germany, France and Switzerland — began redeeming their rapidly depreciating US dollars for the gold stored in Fort Knox. So much so that by the time 1971 rolled around, America had only half the gold reserves it did in 1960. In fact, it’s been said that the gold outflow was so rapid, if it continued, America’s gold reserves would have been completely consumed within a few more years.<\/p>\n

Of course, instead of closing the gold window and abandoning Bretton Woods, the US could have simply scaled back its spending. But that’s what happens<\/a> when critical financial decisions belong to profligate politicians and their complicit central bankers.<\/p>\n

Since abandoning its ties to gold in 1971, America has greatly expanded the size of the federal government, destroying the dollar’s utility as a store of value in the process — so much so that it takes $725 today to buy the same basket of goods and services that $100 would fetch in 1971.<\/p>\n

The bad news is, savers, retirees and other folks on fixed incomes depend on their currency to hold its value; and if currencies depreciate too quickly, it leads to lower living standards — for almost everyone.<\/p>\n

Since 2010, the Fed’s printing presses have conjured more than $8 trillion in new money out of thin air. And that doesn’t bode well for the US dollar’s value and continued confidence in its future.<\/p>\n

Unlike fiat currency, it’s impossible to conjure precious metals out of thin air. That makes gold and silver proven instruments of wealth protection. In fact, precious metals are the ultimate form of wealth insurance. For this reason, a growing number of responsible people choose to keep a portion of their savings in precious metals.<\/p>\n

How secure are they?<\/p>\n

Well, last week, the national average price for a gallon of gasoline was approximately $3.55 per gallon. Meanwhile, the current melt value of a genuine silver Washington quarter minted between 1932 and 1964 is hovering around $4.32. That means a silver quarter that was used to buy a gallon of gas in 1964 for 25 cents can still do so — if not more<\/strong><\/em> — 60 years later.<\/p>\n

\"25And you can be certain that silver quarter will still<\/strong><\/em> buy a gallon of gasoline 60 years from now too. After all, it’s wealth insurance!<\/p>\n

Some people love to point out that precious metals pay no interest, have no earnings, provide no yield, and spin off no cash flow — but that’s also their biggest strength! Physical precious metals serve no master, so they don’t rely on any counterparty to remain solvent. As such, gold and silver are the ultimate collateral<\/a>. This makes them the perfect insurance policy against currency devaluation, or a total loss of confidence that results in hyperinflation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Critics who don’t understand the value of holding physical<\/strong><\/em> metal argue that precious metal prices go up and<\/em><\/strong> down. But that misses the point. Whether the price rises or falls, gold and silver’s purchasing power never changes<\/em><\/strong> in real terms over the long term. What is<\/strong><\/em> changing is the value of the currency.<\/p>\n

Remember the gasoline example? That humble Washington silver quarter will always<\/em><\/strong> buy a gallon of gas or a couple loaves of bread. Regardless of whether the price of silver rises, or even falls precipitously!<\/p>\n

Those who believe in personal responsibility don’t buy precious metals to make money. Rather, they buy gold and silver<\/a> to protect the cash and other paper assets they already have. Even so, I strongly suspect that less than 1 in 100 people, for whatever reason, actually bother.<\/p>\n

Now, like any insurance, you may never need to rely on your gold and silver. If that’s the case, you would simply pass it on to your children and grandchildren. Then again, if the day ever comes when you do<\/em><\/strong> have to use it, you’ll be glad you had the foresight to protect yourself.<\/p>\n

So whether or not you find yourself laying awake at night worrying about the safety of your hard-earned money \u2013 including your retirement nest egg \u2013 it’s wise to consider accumulating a little wealth insurance. Even if it\u2019s nothing more than a single American Silver Eagle or Canadian Silver Maple Leaf every month, I promise you\u2019ll sleep a whole lot better at night.<\/p>\n

Besides, it’s the responsible thing to do.<\/p>\n
