Buying silver and gold is simple and well-known for its stability, especially during tough economic times. However, the real challenge comes with investing in stocks, dividends, and cryptocurrencies to grow your portfolio. I’ve been working to grow my $190K portfolio for a while, but my biggest hurdle is figuring out the best entry and exit strategies. I would really appreciate any suggestions.

[@StacieBMui]

Just try to diversify your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your portfolio is balanced and you don’t get to make so much losses. Also engage the services of a financial advisor to walk you through

I bought a large amount of silver two years ago at $14 per ounce, now its $26...its done well.

[@MisterUrbanWorld]

The only issue is that you'll never get your money back from that Silver due to shops paying low in order to resell for profit. It'll be even harder if it's Silver Rounds, and not Premium Silver Coins, but with premium you're already paying way too much. I found that I make more selling .925 Silver jewelry over Silver coins. It's way more profitable in jewelry form. Even brass plated jewelry will land you more money back than Silver coins. However I'm not against Silver Stacking, as I'm 100% silver myself. This is from my experience speaking.

They dont grab a group of stocks as they were back then and then find out which company still exists. In the real world, you buy stocks, and then see what happens to your stock/company after 200 years go by. The best buggy whip companies in 1801 are now worthless.

Gold is seen as a safe bet during economic ups and downs. But investing in it can be tricky. Some people lose money because they don't understand how it works. So, it's wise to be careful. I suggest talking to a financial advisor who can help you figure out when to buy and sell.

Here are the facts: Gold in 1966 (50 years ago) was worth $35.13/oz, today its $1,255. Adjusting for inflation, $35.13 in 1966 is about $257.00 today. So that would be a return of 488%! thats in addition to saving you from inflation. Not adjusting for inflation, thats 3580%

[@nietzschesghost8529]

@@wearewarriorseaglesjaguars6342 _Objectively_ speaking, gold is not much more valuable than paper. The reason why gold has historically been used in currencies is because it is relatively rare and it doesn't rust; the gold bar you buy and put in storage isn't going to slowly deteriorate in weight over time. But in the end, it's still a hunk of rock. Strictly speaking, the only thing with objectively value "until the end of time" is food and clean water. If the global economy sinks and people are going hungry, I'd take a loaf of bread and bottle of water over a bar of gold. And so would everyone else. And therefore, you wouldn't be able to trade your gold for anything.

I have always agreed with Dave’s advice but in this instance I would disagree, I think he’s too quick to write this option off.

[@coinenthusiast9991]

Gold and Silver is better to use as a form of SAVINGS (not investment unless it's numismatic coins) and to protect your purchasing power due to the currency constantly being devalued. Since 1971 (last year of the gold standard), Gold has out-performed our currency and the stock market when you factor in inflation. More currency (dollars) continues to be printed because we are using a debt-based monetary system. So the more dollars in circulation, the less value they have over time as the value becomes diluted when there are too many dollars coupled with the currency velocity (spending activity in the economy). If anyone would have saved in gold since 1971 (or since 1913, beginning of the FED), they would have more wealth today than if they had saved the same original amount in dollars. We would not have to worry about our currency become devalued like today if we operated on a gold standard. To make the gold standard work, we would need to adjust the value of dollar relative to gold in order to account for all the currency in circulation by the FED. Gold is the reason people were confident in currency in the past. Keynesian economics will not work as long as our monetary system is based on debt. People lose confidence in the dollar when the government become desperate and goes broke, as the US is heading today. Each dollar represents a claim check on an IOU as opposed to a claim check on gold. The intrinsic value of the dollar is ZERO and continues to head closer to zero with each passing day. Gold, on the other hand, hedges against the devaluation of a currency, which is precisely why it is important to maintain at least 5-10% of your portfolio in gold and silver, too. Silver is more undervalued compared to gold, so it is good to have a mix of both, especially now. Every government that has used paper currency since the 11th century (the first time when China experimented with paper currency), the value of the currency has ALWAYS returned to its intrinsic value, which is ZERO. With all due respect to Dave Ramsey, he could not be more wrong about Gold/silver. I sleep better at night knowing that I have protected my wealth with something of real value that I can hold in my hand and that cannot be seized by banks. The only thing banks can do is manipulate the price through the COMEX, which is a scheme that has been ongoing for a long time. Once banks are no longer able to maintain that scheme due to lack of physical metal as they sell it off and investors demand it, then expect gold/silver to sky rocket to their true value based on the amount of excessive currency in circulation.

Dave has good and bad points. What he should say is he believes other investments if you pick a good real estate or good mutual funds/ETF's will perform better in the long term over gold/silver but there is nothing wrong in diversifying some of your portfolio in gold/silver. There are good returns available on gold/silver if you hold and then look for spike rises. Also in economic recession if someone needs to raise cash and they can not sell their real estate as value is down or difficult to sell and their mutual funds are seriously down (so not wanting to sell to take a large loss) then been able to sell some gold/silver at high price gives you a great option. Simple advice, have a small allocation 5-10% of gold/silver in your portfolio.

[@newjerseybt]

+Ming Y I bought gold for the reason that I am a coin collector of uncirculated gold coins. It was just pure luck that I bought the coins back in 1998 when gold was $290 per ounce.

This is really bad advice. Dave's other advice, to get out of debt and to use cash instead of credit - that's good advice. But not this, not now. Gold is not an investment (in the sense that it doesn't have 'cash-flow'), but it is a great store of value. In other words, gold is a way to save money. Saving dollars is a way to lose money due to real inflation and the devaluing of the dollar. For more information read the book "Currency Wars" by James Rickards and balance Dave Ramsey by listening to the advice of Robert Kiyosaki on The Rich Dad Radio Show.

[@dstblj5222]

It does match inflation, but not much more, which means its even worse then what you get with T bonds and about the same amount of risk.

[@harrisonwintergreen1147]

...a dollar invested in bonds in 1801 would be worth nearly a thousand dollars by 1998, a dollar invested in stocks that same year would be worth more than half a million dollars. All this is in real terms, taking inflation into account. Meanwhile, a dollar invested in gold in 1801 would by 1998, be worth just 78 cents. The phrase, “as good as gold” can be misleading as the phrase “money in the bank”, when talking about the long run. Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics (2007)

[@iheartlreoy8134]

harrison wintergreen It’s about diversification, having some money tied up in gold is a good idea simply to spread out your money and have some future proof money in reserve. Obviously don’t own your life savings in gold, or in any other one thing.

[@SilverBearAgAu]

Dave says (I'm paraphrasing) "no time in history have we ever used gold and silver." ALL money was gold and silver before we printed mass amounts of paper money. And as a little side note, Saddam's money system used Silver and Gold coin. Then it was replaced by debt based paper money. Another side note on the civil war comment he made: The reason people used union dollars was because war creates debt and the union was in debt and had to use IOUs and due to people hording silver and gold, there was a shortage of hard money (silver and gold). The U.S. government used paper money to jump start the economy. The US used gold coins as money up to 1933 almost 70 years after the civil war, and used silver coins up 1964 almost 100 years after the civil war. I'n not a follower of Dave but I'm giving him a try. I already do many of the things he suggests, but mu knowledge of money history is giving me red flags about this guy. How many other things is he wrong about and why is he so arrogant about his opinion on gold and silver? As a Christian, I would never display this type of blatant arrogance and I would never pretend to know a subject and offer advice about it. He seems to refuse to learn about it. Very arrogant.

If a state creates it's own currency, i'm sure that there won't be a way that your U.S. dollars sitting in your account would be converted to a new state issued currency, or would they?

Lets say you buy now and it does gain value before the collapse why should i buy from you and not from Mike Baloney or other trusted web sites ?

GOOD POINT .....👍

[@steveyates8186]

Dave is partially correct but it's fair to say he doesn't fully understand gold. While it is true that gold isn't a good investment, that's like saying holding cash isn't a good investment - because gold (like cash) is a form of money. It serves a purpose better than just about anything else - storing wealth. When there is a devaluation or currency crash those who have some gold won't have lost their purchasing power. Dave could recommend that his followers hold some gold bullion as a portion of their emergency fund. It has a lot of advantages for this purpose. It can be quickly cashed in but it's not something you can just spend on impulse. It can also provide some protection during a major economic event.

[@sb-nl6ge]

[@alrbredwall]

[@Zar4thustr4]

i get that Dave has a different historical back-ground - but comming from Middle Europe I can state that there was not a 100 years were paper money did not lose all of its worth (in fact often it was much more frequent), and also it is true that immediately after e.g. the 2nd world war the intermediate government printed money but it was literally inflating by the hour - you could not buy anything with it -> from my grandparents I know that the best tradiing goods were: food later on also alcohol and cigarretes and later on gold and silver -> which had an enormous buying power for a while. So maybe it is more a psychological thing -> but my emergency fund will always be mostly gold and some silver

[@leemoran7852]

Gold and silver has kept its value since the Roman times. As we all know it's been replaced with paper money which holds absolutely no intrinsic value. I do agree that you cannot rely solely on precious metals as an investment, but it is about diversifying your financial resources. And having investments and gold and silver can never be a bad idea, it just can't be your only idea.

[@carljensen5730]

It's not an investment at all for the long run, because it doesn't generate income or grow. Businesses grow and generate income. Real estate generates income. The income they generate exceeds inflation. Real estate has also kept its value since WAY before the Roman times. You know what else it has done? Generate an income!

Everyone needs to watch the Hidden Secrets of Money series by Mike Maloney. Regardless of your stance on Gold and Silver. Go own dollars and watch them get devalued. The government prints the currency and the banks enter the digital currency into their systems. Meanwhile, you are on the hook for the debt. Prices rise and your 'money' the dollar pays for less. Dave Ramsey mentions many times what his stance is on how responsible the government is with 'Money' Then why not have some gold and silver as a preservation of your hard earned time and labor. Currency=the US Dollar is not a preservation on your hard earned work. Then why is everything suppose to be great with the economy and there are a lot of us who know by our current situations that we haven't seen much of an improvement since 2008. It's because the government and banks are creating currency and the end result is that all these prices will continue to go up.

It's not the "price" of gold, it's the value, or lack thereof, of the US dollar. I love Dave, but he's wrong on this one. Stick to Fiat, Dave. 5 - 15% of precious metals in your investment portfolio, is a wise idea. If it wasn't valuable, the gov't would not have made it illegal to have, unless what you have is considered collector items.

[@DeltaFH]

I love when someone provides the best evidence for something when trying to argue against it. Having gold would be infinitely better in both scenarios than leaving your money in cash if you were in the confederate states or Iraq. You would be able to exchange gold for whatever the new currency is that replaces the old currency. Both the stock market and real estate are tied directly to the country's currency. So, if a tough economic time happens you will not be able to cash out or leave to another country that is not affected. Gold is essentially a hedge and preservation against your country's currency, if it were to decline in value or crash/die completely. Some other alternate assets also have that power, but none are as liquid as gold.

[@Nepthu]

In an episode of Little House on the Prairie, the Ingalls are told they'll be rich because a distant relative has left them a fortune. The problem was the "fortune" was confederate money. That's the first time I heard of a dead currency that has no value. I felt so bad for Charles because Mrs. Oleson had convinced him to buy things on credit so he was broke! Charles only agreed because of the money he thought was coming his way.

[@michaelmohrle1773]

There was another episode where they found gold, it was worth $20/ounce back then and the time period is right around after the civil war. So Dave must have corn on the cob for brains on this issue because if you lost paper money but had gold and silver, it was still worth the new money.

When we moved off the gold standard we started this trend of bubbles that cycle over the years of extreme highs and extreme lows. This is not sustainable.
