Gold broke through $4k/ounce today. Goldman Sachs calling for $4900 by end of 2026.

That's a strong +20% return by the end of 2026.
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of a lot of gold prognosticators predicting $5k/ounce just a few years ago but it appears the US debt spiral and the ever increasing debasement of the USD has forced a lot of investors and central banks to move towards gold as a hedge.
Currently Central banks hold nearly 38,000 metric tons of gold, up nearly 10,000 metric tons since the Financial Meltdown of 2007/20008....that's roughly 17% of all known gold ever mined.
Seems like the those in the know have been steadily buying gold since the Financial Meltdown of 2007/2008 and kicked their gold purchases up a notch or two over the past 5 years.
It's almost like these Banksters know there is a reckoning coming for all fiat currencies and they want to be positioned to weather the shite show.

Dude ^^^^ was on it.
$10,000 invested in gold in December of 2015 would have appreciated nearly 400%

Unless you need to raise some cash I would hold.

Only if you need to call 877-CASH-NOW. Otherwise, hold it and keep making more money. I see no way gold will go down in value anytime soon.

The only way I see gold backing off any substantial amount is if Congress passes a balanced budget amendment and then we actually see an effort to begin paying down $38 trillion of US debt.....probably ain't gonna happen.

The debasement trade. Hard assets are on fire.

I doubt it gets there. All the signs could point to gold and silver rising due to all kinds of macro-economic factors, but I lived long enough on this green and blue ball to know that precious commodities are manipulated to the nth degree. It will almost certainly zag when it should be zigging.

There are probably hundreds of individual stocks that have outperformed gold over the past 5 -10 years but most people aren't out there buying individual stocks, they're in a 401k or some other type of tax deferred investment plan. If you invested in an index fund the past 15 years you didn't hit 400% returns.
I've hit some good beat down stocks over the past 10 years, recently I bought Tesla a while back when it was in the $230 range, I think it's over $400 today

Right here^^^^.
It ain't just gold, it's any hard asset. There are still a lot of institutional investors buying real estate.

In early 2025 Goldman Sachs was calling for $3500/ounce gold by the end of 2025...they missed.

What if I invested in 2011-12? I wouldn't break even until 2020 and not make anything until 2023.
Is there a reason why you started at 2015?
Posted on 10/7/25 at 6:20 pm to The Boat
Yeah but can you hold $40k with of Tesla in your hand and haul arse to Chile if necessary?

You can pick out many investments that would do similar. I look at gold as a hedge to currency value. It is safe and traditionally just kept up with inflation and currency value, until the last few years. 6 years ago it was at 1800 and now 4000. Gold/precious medals are usually not gaining that kind of return. The thing about it that is alarming is the amount of central banks are purchasing. Countries are buying it up right now.

VUG is up about 400% since the end of 2015 so easily tradable ETFs are running comparable.

If you can buy gold you can buy Tesla. You are comparing apples and oranges - an investor who is free to buy gold with an investor who is forced to invest in indexed funds.
BTW, I bought $998,000 in gold two years ago and it has doubled. I’m not bragging, because I wasn’t speculating. I was just finally implementing my plans for an apocalypse. Also, I lost three times what I made on gold in another deal. I’d have been better off if I had put all of it in indexed funds.

Now do bitcoin, lol. About $362 on December 1, 2015. That’s a 33,000% gain since then. I haven’t been in that long. I wish I had speculated early on. I’ve only been in since it was just under $10,000.
