Gold has been in the news everywhere, and the words you hear spoken most are “wealth protector.” Gold is up 18% so far this year, while both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones are down.
That’s the kind of wealth protection everyone could use more of these days.
But gold has additional reasons for its appeal…
BEATING INFLATION AT MOTEL 6
You can also beat everyday inflation to the punch with gold.
Let me show you a powerful example we just researched here at HGG, regarding the famous Motel 6 hotel chain.
When it opened in 1962, the original Motel 6 offered comfortable, no frills rooms in Santa Barbara for visiting tourists. It charged just $6 per night at a time when the price of gold was just $35 per ounce.
In other words, you could get 6 nights in this basic, ideally-located hotel for an ounce of gold.
Flash forward to 2016, when a room in the same Motel 6 costs $96, and the price of gold is roughly $1230 per ounce. The hotel is exactly the same as always, but guess what… now you can afford 12 nights at the same location for just one ounce of gold.
See how it works?
Without gold, inflation eats away at the affordability of everyday things. There is no escaping it, except by owning assets like gold and silver that hold their value, indifferent to the pressures of inflation.
Gold can maintain (and perhaps increase) your purchasing power over time.
Wealth protection plus inflation protection: just two of the reasons why gold deserves a place in your portfolio.

Gold Looking Lusterous, Say Analysts
Many analysts are noting the strength in the gold market and looking ahead:
Economist Michael Lombardi set a price target of $1900 per ounce for gold, citing the negative interest rate policies recently put in effect by central banks around the globe. He believes that negative interest rates could be a sign of desperate, “last hope” efforts to spur economic growth, as most recently evidenced in Japan.
Pierre Lassonde, who heads one of the world’s largest gold companies, stated that the new gold bull market could take the gold price as high as $8,000/oz. Lassonde particularly favors holding gold as a long-term store of value.
Frank Holmes, CEO and CIO at U.S. Global Investors, wrote that gold is likely to continue its rally and that upcoming highs will be “stickier” than seen in previous rallies.
DON’T WAIT TO MAKE YOUR MOVE
In times like these, having a little gold or silver in the home safe is of considerable comfort to anyone, regardless of your exact view of the markets ahead, your political leanings or even your age.
