Here’s How Much Gold You Need According to Top Analysts

Here we go again.

The Fed just cracked the door open on its next big easing cycle — and if you think that’s a good sign, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. When the central bank starts cutting rates not because they want to, but because they have to, that’s not a pivot — that’s a warning shot.

Let me say it plainly: the house of cards is shaking, and gold is your fire insurance.

🚨 The Fed Is Cutting Because It’s Cornered

Last week, Jerome Powell and his crew pulled the trigger on a 25-basis-point rate cut. But don’t confuse that with confidence. Powell himself called it “risk management.” Translation? They’re scared — not sure what comes next, but trying to slow the bleeding.

And even with that rate cut, gold hasn't exactly soared. It’s been hovering just above $3,600 an ounce, consolidating after a massive run-up. That’s not weakness — that’s digestion. Long-term, this thing’s still pointing north, and it’s got fuel to burn.

Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar is catching a brief bid, thanks to the Fed’s lukewarm approach — but that’s just a dead-cat bounce. The fundamentals are still rotting from the inside out.

🧨 Why You Should Own Gold (And How Much)

Now comes the real question I get every week:
“Frank, how much gold should I be holding right now?”

Look, I’m not your financial advisor, but I’ve been in this game for decades. I’ve seen crashes, inflation waves, banking crises, and every trick in the fiat playbook. And what I can tell you is this: gold and silver are not optional anymore — they’re essential.

And I’m not the only one saying it.

Big Players Are Going Heavy on Gold

• Société Générale, the French banking giant, just cranked their gold allocation to 10% of their multi-asset portfolio. They’re eyeing $4,000 gold by 2026 — and that’s conservative.
• Chris Mancini from Gabelli Funds is telling folks to hold between 5% and 10%. Why? Because most mainstream investors are still asleep at the wheel, and that’s when you want to be ahead of the herd.

“Investors are still pretty agnostic about gold,” Mancini said. “We’re nowhere near a peak.”

Translation? The train hasn’t left the station — yet.

• David Miller over at Catalyst Funds is even more aggressive. He’s pushing a 15% allocation to gold, citing central bank buying, inflation, and a global collapse in trust.

And he’s right. Central banks aren’t dumb. They bought over 1,000 tons of gold last year alone. That’s not a hobby — that’s preparation.

💣 Fiat Currencies Are Dying by Design

Let’s not kid ourselves here. The U.S. government is sitting on $36 trillion in debt with a $1.9 trillion annual deficit. You don’t recover from that by tightening belts — you do it by quietly devaluing your currency over time.

That’s the play. Always has been. Devalue the dollar to stay solvent — and hope people don’t notice.

But people are noticing. And they’re turning to gold, silver, Bitcoin — anything the Fed can’t print into oblivion.

“Gold can't be printed or devalued,” Miller said. Exactly. That’s why it works.

🧮 My Take: Here’s the Allocation Sweet Spot

You want a number? Fine. Here’s my no-BS breakdown:

• Minimum: 5% — if you’re just getting started or super conservative. This is your “sleep-at-night” insurance.
• Ideal range: 10% to 15% — this gives you real protection while keeping your portfolio balanced.
• Aggressive: 20% or more — for folks who see the writing on the wall and want to front-run the collapse.

And don’t forget silver. It’s gold’s punchier little brother. More volatile, sure — but also more upside if things go sideways fast. Stack both. Diversify within your metals, not just your stocks.

🛑 Final Warning: “Zero” Is No Longer an Option

I’ll leave you with this from Aakash Doshi at State Street:

“The only allocation to gold that doesn’t make sense anymore… is 0%.”

Exactly. If you’re still sitting in cash, praying that the Fed saves the day, you’re not paying attention. You’re gambling.

And this isn’t a game anymore.
