HOW TO INVEST IN GOLD: Gold IRA Investing


Andy Schectman is the president and founder of Miles Franklin, a well-known precious metals dealer with over 30 years of experience handling gold and silver. With his vast knowledge and expertise in the industry, Schectman has predicted that the United States is headed for a recession and has strongly suggested that gold should be considered as wealth, not just an investment.

In an interview with Kitco News, Schectman stated that the current economic environment is deteriorating, creating a strong possibility of a recession looming in the near future. He pointed out that the Federal Reserve has been pumping more than $100 billion a day into the repo market, which signifies underlying problems within the financial system. He also explained that the trade war with China has created uncertainty and ambiguity and that the recent yield curve inversion reinforces the possibility of an upcoming recession.

According to Schectman, the individuals who understand this economic outlook are turning to gold as a safe and reliable store of wealth to protect themselves from the potential financial turmoil. He notes that, unlike stocks and bonds, gold is not reliant on the economy; it is a finite, tangible asset. Essentially, gold is not an investment, but rather a form of wealth preservation – it has intrinsic value and can be utilized directly if necessary.

Schectman urges individuals to view gold as both a form of wealth preservation and a way to diversify their investment portfolio. He explains that the historical patterns of the US economy are cyclical, with recessions occurring periodically. Gold, on the other hand, has consistently maintained its value throughout history and is considered a long-term investment that can withstand market volatility.

In conclusion, Andy Schectman’s insight into the current economic situation provides valuable information for individuals searching for safe and reliable ways to protect themselves from a potential recession. His advice to view gold not as an investment but as a form of wealth preservation is thought-provoking and provides an alternate perspective than the traditional approach toward investing. Ultimately, gold has proven to be a timeless asset that should be considered as a viable option in any diversified portfolio.

    Maybe, it is not all that doom. Saudi Arabia has now problems with the oil price, financing its enormous investments. So, if price does not go up soon, they got a problem. Dubai had this problem one before, Saudi Arabia will follow if the oil price does not rise. If a recession comes, we will see more, But yes, overall, the economic decisions, made in the US, are just real bad.

    This makes no sense to me. If Australia and others go apart from the USA that weakens them and strengthens the USA. Good luck to Australia defending themselves against the Chinese military without the US military. But China is in the greatest economic instability of America stops buying from them. The entire world is going into economic collapse. As ugly as the American economy is, it’s the least ugly. The EU, Russia and China gets progressively uglier. Gold and even more so silver, is the best investment. Crypto will crash.

    Australia, a country which WILL not use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes BUT chooses instead to use it military. Btw I believe the waste is up to you guys the Yanks ain’t taking it back. Vassals comes to mind together with the complete opposite Japan, another vassal

    So all this record buying of central banks and the big wigs yet gold still can't make a new high………I'm not so sure about this sector anymore. Either the information out there is bullshit or the manipulation is far beyond comprehension. I wish my money was in NVIDIA.
