It’s Time to Roll Over (or Establish) a Gold-based IRA for 2026

For much of the past century, it's been a tough time to invest in gold in America, with most gold coins and bullion being forbidden to own for 41 years, from 1934 to 1974, but as of the last day of 1974, gold was once again legal for Americans to own.

Silver was the star in November, up 19%, and 95% for the year so far, setting a new record high by a long shot, above $56 per ounce. Gold followed suit but silver seems to be the new leader (over gold and platinum) last month, last year and since 2020.

Gold reached a low of barely $100 per ounce in September 1976, just after America’s 200th birthday and just before the election of Jimmy Carter, who defeated the incumbent, Gerald Ford.  From that $103 base price, gold multiplied more than eightfold over the next 3.25 years, to $850 in January 1980.

Gold Sees a Much-Needed Price Correction, So we can “Buy on Dips”!

On Tuesday, October 21st, investors sold off gold by over $200 per ounce (-5%). Is this cause for concern?

Gold is Now Up 200-Fold (nearly 20,000%) Since FDR’s 1933 Gold Grab

The Federal Reserve is now over a century old and it’s hard to see any bright side in its track record. At first, the Fed fueled deflation and caused – then prolonged – the Great Depression.
