Gold as an Inflation Hedge? The Proof Is in the Pudding

If you listen to the mainstream financial media, you might think gold is a horrible investment and should generally be avoided. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey compares these mainstream myths with gold's market realities. As it turns out, gold has historically performed much better than you've been led to believe.

Join Mike Maharrey and Tom DiLorenzo, as they discuss the real beneficiaries of all of the inflation continually created by the Federal Reserve, how our monetary policy harms savers and the elderly and also why gold and silver should be viewed not necessarily as an investment but more as insurance, and why everyone should own this financial insurance. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

During this inflationary cycle, gold tended to sell off with any hot inflation news. Conversely, mainstream and institutional investors tended to buy when inflation appeared to be cooling. Does this prove gold really isn't an inflation hedge? In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey probes this question. He concludes the proof is in the pudding. In this episode, Mike also gives an overview of last week's Federal Reserve meeting and the central bank's miserable track record on projecting the trajectory of monetary policy.

Gold has had a nice run over the last few months and it's garnered a lot of attention. Silver has kind of gotten lost in the shadow of gold's shine. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, people should be paying attention to silver. It has outperformed gold in this gold bull market and there are plenty of reasons to believe the silver bull has a lot of leg left.

The Federal Reserve can't seem to get a handle on price inflation. It vacillates back and forth between dovish and hawkish, raising hopes for interest rate cuts one week and dashing them the next. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey ponders whether the Fed's lack of success on the inflation front is due to incompetence or if it's on purpose. Or maybe both?
