Investors Are Clutching Their Gold Like a Life Raft – Here’s Why You Should Too
If you’re not holding gold right now, you might want to ask yourself: What am I waiting for? Because while Wall Street is busy playing guessing games with the Federal Reserve, everyday investors—the smart ones, at least—are scrambling for the only asset that’s stood the test of time.
Gold Is the Only Real Safety Net
Invesco’s Kathy Kriskey hit the nail on the head in a recent interview: gold isn’t just an investment—it’s protection. She put it bluntly:
“If you're an investor and something is terrifying you, and you want to hide under your bed, you need to have gold in your portfolio. Gold is the ultimate safety blanket.”
And let’s be real—there’s plenty to be terrified about. Global instability, crumbling fiat currencies, a volatile stock market, and central banks hoarding gold like there’s no tomorrow. You think they’re doing that for fun? No. They see what’s coming.
The Fed’s Shell Game and Gold’s Big Move
For years, people have fixated on the Federal Reserve. “Will they raise rates? Will they cut?” It’s a distraction. Gold isn’t moving because of Jerome Powell’s wishy-washy statements. It’s moving because the entire financial system is built on a house of cards, and investors know it.
Look at the numbers:
- Gold has skyrocketed over 8% in 2025 alone.
- The U.S. stock market? A measly 2.8%.
- The U.S. dollar? Losing ground.
That tells you everything. Investors are voting with their wallets, and they’re voting for gold.
China, Central Banks, and the De-Dollarization Tsunami
Still not convinced? Then ask yourself this: Why are central banks loading up on gold like never before?
China’s central bank alone bought gold for 18 straight months, took a short breather, and then jumped back in. They’re sitting at only 5% gold reserves, meaning they’ve got a long way to go. And trust me, they will keep buying.
“China needs to de-dollarize,” Kriskey said.
Bingo. The dollar’s days as the world’s reserve currency are numbered, and gold is the escape hatch. In 2024 alone, central banks bought 1,045 tonnes of gold. They’re not stacking that much metal for fun. They’re preparing for what’s next.
Don’t Wait for Gold to “Dip” – It Might Not
Kriskey advises investors to be disciplined and wait for pullbacks. Fair enough. But let’s be clear: gold is in a long-term uptrend. If you’re sitting on the sidelines waiting for some magical “perfect price,” you could be left behind.
Yes, gold has had its ups and downs, but in a world drowning in debt, inflation, and government overreach, it’s the one asset you can count on.
Final Thought: If You’re Not Holding Gold, You’re Taking a Massive Risk
