Gold vs. stocks

Stocks and gold are not competitors. They do different jobs.

What stocks do

Stocks give you a share of a business's future cash flows. Over long horizons, a diversified equity portfolio compounds wealth. That is unmatched.

What gold does

Gold preserves purchasing power across regime changes — inflations, currency devaluations, wars, banking crises. It is uncorrelated with equities during the events that hurt equities most.

How much of each?

There is no single right answer. Historically, allocations of 5–15% to gold have improved risk-adjusted returns for stock-heavy portfolios. We cover allocation frameworks in the Wealth Preservation track.
