Is gold a good investment right now?

As we embark on 2025 you may ask is gold a good investment right now? It’s time to take stock of what lies ahead and embrace the opportunities that await us. Last year was a rollercoaster of chaos and cherished moments, but here we stand, ready to script the next chapter. I trust you’ve had the chance to recharge your batteries—because this year promises to be nothing short of monumental, and I think you will need all the charge you can get!

Gold’s position today is nothing short of spectacular

Let’s dive straight in—cutting through the cacophony, simplifying the complexities, and ensuring you can navigate the financial maze ahead. I believe we hold a hand that’s not just strong but strategically unbeatable.

Gold’s position today is nothing short of spectacular—poised for rapid and sustained growth. Again, let me emphasise that this is my opinion, grounded in over a decade of meticulous research and experience. But don’t just take my word for it—do your research. After all, knowledge is the actual currency of the wise.

Central banks need tier-one assets, gold!

Consider the lay of the land. For banks to stay afloat, they need tier-one assets—the gold standard (pun intended) of financial stability. These include the U.S. dollar, U.S. Treasury bonds, and, of course, gold. But let’s take a moment to examine the state of the dollar. With over $36 trillion in debt and daily interest payments north of $3 billion—yes, billion—it’s struggling to hold its breath. If the dollar collapses under this weight, what remains? The answer is as shiny as it is timeless: gold.

Historically, gold has doubled in value every ten years

Historically, gold has doubled in value every ten years. It is not too shabby for an asset that carries no risk of default and will never, ever go to zero. In 2024, gold in GBP terms saw an impressive leap of over 30%, with prices reaching approximately £2,200 per ounce by October. If that’s not thriving, I don’t know what is.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House is a chess move the global economy isn’t ready for. During his first presidency, gold catapulted by over 50%, rising from $1,100 per ounce in 2016 to over $2,000 per ounce by 2020. Why? Trump’s policies—equal parts unpredictable and unconventional—created an environment where gold could flourish.

Trump has never shied away from championing gold as the ultimate store of value. During his first term, his musings about returning to the gold standard and his trade war theatrics sent markets into a tailspin, making gold the apparent refuge for savvy investors.

And what do you think about it now? The spectre of trade wars is looming again, but the BRICS nations are ready now. Russia, China, and their economic allies have been stockpiling gold like it’s going out of fashion. Is this merely coincidental? I personally believe they’re preparing to sidestep the potential financial turmoil of a trade war. Gold, after all, is immune to sanctions, tariffs, and political posturing. The entire country of China/Russia is stockpiling gold for a reason.

Currency wars

Would it be unwise—perhaps even foolhardy—not to consider gold as an investment right now? In my personal opinion, absolutely. While I don’t claim to hold all the answers, I can tell you this: I am buying as much gold as I comfortably can, which feels like the most logical course of action.

Gold isn’t just an investment

Gold isn’t just an investment; it’s a bastion of stability and a bulwark against chaos. With global debt spiralling out of control and political tensions simmering, I personally believe this is one of the most opportune moments in history to invest in gold.

As I reflect on what’s to come, my goals are unwavering: to help as many people as possible, protect and preserve as much wealth as possible, and ensure that those closest to me have a reliable emergency exit—a lifeline—should the need arise. One immutable truth lies at the heart of these goals: holding something that will never go to zero.

In a world where currencies crumble, markets quake, and governments rewrite the rules, gold remains the steadfast constant. It’s more than a store of value; it’s peace of mind.

2025 isn’t just another year—it’s a pivotal moment. Let’s seize the opportunities before us, make decisions that protect what we’ve worked tirelessly for, and hold assets that rise above the noise of politics, war, and economic uncertainty.

Let’s make this the year we take control of what we can prepare for what we can’t and stride confidently into the future.

My projection for the end of the year is well over £3000 an Oz.

I am looking forward to keeping you In the Know in 2025.
