Wall Street Wakes Up: Even Goldman Sachs Is Warning You to Buy Gold Before It’s Too Late
Well, folks, it’s not every day the big boys at Goldman Sachs let the mask slip—but when they do, you better listen. Their latest research just came out swinging, warning that your standard 60/40 stock-and-bond portfolio is no match for the world we’re walking into. And get this: they’re recommending gold and other commodities as your financial life raft.
Yep, Goldman Sachs, the poster child of modern finance, is now echoing the very thing we’ve been preaching here at Dedollarize News. You want protection from market chaos? Inflation? War? Energy shocks? You’d better have some real assets—like gold—in your back pocket.
Let’s unpack this before it’s too late.
“Investors Need a Hedge,” Says Wall Street’s Finest
According to the report from Goldman Sachs Research, led by Lina Thomas, we’re entering a storm where inflation won’t go quietly and economic growth could stall out. They’re talking about tail risks—those big, ugly, unexpected events that blow your portfolio to pieces while the Fed fumbles around with interest rates.
Think about it:
- Central banks lose credibility.
- The economy gets sucker-punched by an oil or gas supply shock.
- Inflation spirals.
- Your 401(k) bleeds out.
Sound familiar? It should. It’s déjà vu from the 1970s—only this time it’s worse, because the entire system is hanging by threads of debt and digital control.
Back then, gold prices soared as investors ran from the dollar and looked for value outside the system. That same dynamic is already playing out again.
Commodities: Not Just for Farmers Anymore
Goldman points out something I’ve been screaming from the rooftops: when both stocks and bonds fail to deliver, commodities shine—and gold leads the pack.
They highlighted the gas cutoff to Europe in 2022 as a prime example. Stocks and bonds tanked. Gold and commodities? They rose.
What this tells us is simple: if you’re not diversified with real, tangible assets, you’re playing Russian roulette with your retirement. The next supply shock or geopolitical mess could be the bullet in the chamber.
Commodities Are Becoming Weapons—Not Just Resources
Here’s where it gets real: Goldman lays out a four-phase cycle of how governments now control commodities like chess pieces in a global power game.
- Reshoring production – Governments bring back manufacturing, slap on tariffs, and hoard commodities like survivalists stockpiling canned beans.
- Export surpluses – Once they’ve got enough, they sell the excess—for a price.
- Price collapses – As prices fall, smaller players get squeezed out.
- Weaponization – The big boys start using their control to punish or manipulate other countries. Think export bans, price fixing, and backroom deals.
Sound like something the free market would come up with? Nope. This is economic warfare, and you’re caught in the middle.
Take the U.S. for example: they’re on track to supply over a third of the world’s liquified natural gas by 2030, and they’re already using it as leverage in trade negotiations. Meanwhile, China controls over 90% of rare earth refining, and those minerals are the backbone of everything from electric vehicles to AI systems.
Not All Commodities Are Created Equal—But Gold Is King
Goldman does caution that not every commodity makes a good hedge. You’ve got to look at two things:
- How much it impacts inflation directly, and
- How vulnerable its supply is to disruption.
Energy, for example, hits both marks hard—it’s essential and easily disrupted. Industrial metals and rare earths also matter, especially because of China’s dominance. But at the end of the day, gold stands apart.
Why? Because it’s:
- Not dependent on an industrial use-case,
- Not controlled by a single government, and
- Trusted for thousands of years as a store of value.
Gold doesn’t need to be part of a smartphone to matter. It matters because it’s money, in the purest form.
Frank’s Take: Don’t Wait for Goldman to Save You
Look, I grew up watching my dad stretch every dollar he earned, only to see the value melt away thanks to inflation and reckless government policy. I’ve spent the last 40 years in finance, and I’ve seen firsthand how Wall Street spins its tales just in time to protect its own hide.
So when even Goldman Sachs tells you to get out of paper and into gold, you know the game is changing.
This isn’t about a clever trade. It’s about survival. It’s about making sure you have something left when the music stops—and trust me, the band is already playing its last tune.
