Slide handout

Pdf Summary

The document, a presentation by Rich Checkan, President and COO of Asset Strategies International, explores the role of gold in portfolio stability. It underscores gold's significant growth from 2000 to 2025, with prices soaring by over 1,068.6%, outpacing traditional stock indices like the Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ. Gold is positioned as a tool for wealth insurance and profit-making, acting as a store of value, a hedge against inflation, and a safe haven during financial turbulence, including historical events like the 2008-2009 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.<br /><br />Gold's relationship with the US dollar and its potential role in de-dollarization are discussed, emphasizing its value as a financial safeguard and a component of a diversified investment strategy. The presentation includes insights from Ben Bernanke about economic stimuli through consumer spending, linked to perceived financial security.<br /><br />The document further explores optimal allocation strategies for gold within a portfolio, analyzing its role during both times of financial emergency and stability. It suggests that gold's liquidity makes it a reliable asset regardless of market conditions, with the guiding principle that there is no wrong time or price to buy gold for the right reasons.<br /><br />Alternatives like mining stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and physical gold (bullion) through IRAs are evaluated for their advantages and potential in sustaining wealth. The presentation closes with recommended actions such as subscribing to free newsletters and consultation services provided by Asset Strategies International, encouraging investors to stay informed and consider gold as a resilient component of their investment portfolios.
