Warren Buffett Hates Gold… But Here’s Five Reasons You Need To Own It
Warren Buffett Hates Gold… But Here’s Five Reasons You Need To Own It
In a 1998 speech at Harvard, legendary investor Warren Buffett shared his thoughts on gold:
“[Gold] gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again, and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility.”
Buffett is correct—gold doesn’t produce earnings or pay dividends. There are, however, some good reasons gold should be an essential part of every investor’s portfolio.
#1: Real Interest Rates Are Still Negative
Even with the Fed raising nominal interest rates, real rates—that is, the nominal interest rate minus inflation—are still in negative territory. And real rates are what really matters to your portfolio.
In the first quarter of 2017, inflation averaged 2.57{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}.
Today, a one-year bank CD pays about 1.4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}. Therefore, to keep all of your money in a bank account means to watch your purchasing power erode.
Of course, there are other options. You can put your money in U.S. Treasuries or dividend-paying stocks. However, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering around 2.25{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} and the average dividend yield for a company on the S&P 500 at 2.33{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, you would still be in negative territory.
Gold is known as the yellow metal with no yield, but simple math tells us no yield is better than a negative one. In fact, real interest rates are a major determinate of which direction the price of gold moves in.
So, gold will protect your capital from the eroding forces of negative rates… and help it grow at the same time.
#2: The Dollar’s Value Has Collapsed
The U.S. dollar may be rising against other currencies like the euro and yen. Nonetheless, in the last 50 years, its purchasing power has fallen by 86{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}.
As this chart shows, keeping your savings in cash is a poor wealth-building strategy. On the other hand, gold has more than kept up with inflation. Since 1972—the first year private ownership of gold became legal again—the price of gold has increased by 2,400{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}.
#3: Gold Is Money
Why has gold retained its value while fiat currencies have fallen? It’s because gold is money.
2,000 years ago, Greek philosopher Aristotle theorized that any sound form of money must be: durable, portable, divisible, and have intrinsic value.
Gold has all these characteristics— that’s why it has proven to be a long-term store of value. Fiat currencies like the dollar cannot be considered money as they don’t have intrinsic value.
In other words, gold is payment in and of itself, but the dollar is only a promise to pay.
#4: Negative Correlation to Stocks and Bonds
The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, pointed out recently that in the last decade, the correlation between stocks and bonds has been at almost double its long-term average.
Therefore, a portfolio comprised of 60{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} stocks/40{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} bonds no longer offers investors adequate diversification. Sure, it’s great when markets are rising—but when the tide turns, that’s going to be a problem.
To keep all your eggs “out of one basket”—buy gold. Recently, the correlation between gold and the S&P 500 stood at its second-lowest level in over 30 years. That’s also the case with gold and bonds.
#5: No Counterparty Risk
Gold is one of the few assets that has no counterparty risk. What does that mean?
No counterparty risk means that once you have physical gold in your possession, you don’t depend on someone else to fulfill a contract or keep a promise for it to retain its value.
Stocks, bonds, ETFs—essentially all paper assets require another party to make good on their end of the deal. Physical gold’s value does not hinge on someone else’s obligation to pay.
Aside from being a long-term store of value and diversification tool, there’s another reason you should buy gold.
Bonus Round: A Profitable Portfolio
Since the beginning of 2017, gold is up over 10{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, making it one of the best-performing assets of the year. And this is no anomaly.
Since late 2015, gold has outperformed the S&P 500 by 30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}. In fact, gold has been the best-performing asset class since the turn of the millennium.
Not only will gold preserve your wealth and insulate your portfolio from market sell-offs, it can earn you a profit at the same time.
Given the negative real rates, a falling dollar, and heightened correlation between stock and bonds, gold should be an essential part of every investor’s portfolio today.

Canamex obtains Bruner subsurface water right extension
CANAMEX GRANTED EXTENSION FOR SUBSURFACE WATER RIGHT FOR BRUNER GOLD PROJECT, NEVADA
Canamex Resources Corp. has provided the following update. The Nevada Division of Water Resources has granted Canamex Resources U.S. Inc. an extension through 2017 for a subsurface water right for the Bruner gold project located in Nye county, Nevada.
The water right application for beneficial use, submitted back in April, 2014, has been approved by the state engineer of Nevada, and Canamex Resources U.S. had been granted a water right for mining purposes for 0.78 cubic foot per second, or 350 gallons per minute, on the west side of the Bruner property in early 2015. This water right was due to expire if not perfected, and the company sought and was granted a one-year extension to perfect the water right. This right, when coupled with the 0.1 cubic foot per second (50 gallons per minute) that comes with the patented ground and the well location on the east side of the property, provides the company a total of 400 gallons per minute of beneficial use for mining purposes. This should be sufficient water for development of up to an 8,000-tonne-per-day initial heap-leach operation.
The company has to complete a well at the permitted location by Dec. 30, 2017, in order to perfect the water right, and then place the well into beneficial use by Dec. 30, 2018. The company plans to develop the water rights to be able to support the continuing exploration drilling effort in advance project development. The company has permitted a new well site with the BLM for the well that covers the existing water right, and will commence permitting of a well site that goes with the recently granted water right announced herein. The reclamation bond requirement for the new well site at the old water right is $1,400, and has to be posted before water well drilling begins. It is assumed the reclamation bond for the well site to perfect the new water right will be similar.
Statement by president Greg Hahn
“The issuance of sufficient water rights for an initial heap-leach operation at Bruner follows the company’s plan of anticipating development needs for the project and paralleling resource development and project development to facilitate moving the project forward expeditiously at the appropriate time,” stated Mr. Hahn, president and chief operating officer.
Mr. Hahn, a certified professional geologist, is the qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for preparing and reviewing the data contained in this press release.
We seek Safe Harbor.
