In A World On Fire, Gold & Silver Are The Last Honest Assets
๐๐๐Every market cycle has its illusions. Every central bank has its narrative. Every empire has its moments when confidence begins to fracture. But 2 assets never lie: Gold and Silver. They do not bend to political spin, monetary experiments or geopolitical chaos. Gold and Silver are the last honest assets in a world that feels increasingly combustible.
The World Is Burning at the Edges
You can feel it - in the headlines, in the markets, in the tone of policymakers who insist that everything is under control while the ground shifts beneath them.
The US Dollar is being stretched past its limits. Years of deficits. Relentless money printing. It is a fiscal path that no one in Washington is willing to confront. This is what currency debasement looks like - slow, corrosive and inevitable.
Inflation has not been defeated. It has been disguised. It hides in services, in supply chains. Inflation also hides in every tariff that gets slapped onto imports. Inflation is not gone. It is waiting for the next spark.
Geopolitical tensions are simmering toward something darker. The Middle East is one misstep away from escalation. Iran sits at the center of a potential conflict that could reshape oil, trade and global stability overnight.
Trade tariffs are creeping back into global policy. Tariffs raise costs. Higher costs feed inflation. Inflation feeds precious metals.
Gold : The Anchor in the Storm
Gold doesn't care about hawkish speeches or market theatrics. It responds to reality, not rhetoric.
When trust erodes, Gold strengthens. When currencies weaken, Gold rises. When the world shakes, Gold steadies.
My long term belief in Gold is expressed through $iShares Gold Trust(IAU)$ . IAU is the second largest Gold ETF after $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$
IAU ETF is my quiet anchor. It is my hedge against currency erosion. It is my shield against geopolitical chaos.
Silver: The Indispensable Metal
If Gold is the anchor, Silver is the spark. Silver doesn't just hedge against monetary instability - it thrives in it.
Silver is both a precious metal and industrial metal, tied to solar, electronics, electrification and the energy transition.
When inflation rises, Silver moves. When industrial demand rises, Silver moves. When fear rises, Silver moves.
I hold that conviction of Silver through $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ . It is my way of capturing Silver's asymmetric potential without overcomplicating the exposure.
SLV is my tactical bet on volatility, energy transition and the inevitable revaluation of real assets.
Concluding Thoughts
When the world is on fire, most assets can pretend to be safe. Gold and Silver do not need to pretend. Together Gold and Silver have survived empires, crises, wars and bubbles.
Gold and Silver are assets that tell the truth, even when the truth is uncomfortable.
In a world on fire, Gold and Silver are the last honest assets.
