Fresh from reporting a solid set of numbers for the third quarter, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he sees “some logic” in owning gold, while declining to say whether he thinks the precious metal is overvalued after its record run-up (perhaps smart, considering his catastrophic attempts to assign value to bitcoin over the past decade).
“I’m not a gold buyer — it costs 4% to own it,” Dimon said Tuesday at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women conference in Washington, referring to storage costs for billionaires who have to store several hundreds gold bars worth billions, and clearly not referring to 99% of actual gold buyers who own a little gold at home and which costs them 0% to own it.
That said, Dimon admitted that gold “could easily go to $5,000, $10,000 in environments like this. This is one of the few times in my life it’s semi-rational to have some in your portfolio.”
Gold, which traded below $2,000 just two years ago, has outpaced gains in equities so far this year, this decade, and this century, reflecting investor demand for safe-haven assets amid inflation concerns and geopolitical unrest, after ignoring precisely the same arguments presented by “tinfoil hat” conspiracy blows such as this one. It continued its torrid advance on Tuesday, climbing to a record $4,184 an ounce, extending its gain this year to almost 60%.
“Asset prices are kind of high,” Dimon said, and “in the back of my mind, that cuts across almost everything at this point.”
Last week, billionaire Citadel founder Ken Griffin said investors were starting to view gold as safer than the dollar, calling the development “really concerning.” Like Dimon, Griffin is also very late to a party we first pointed out about 2 years ago when we showed that after the Ukraine war and the Biden admin’s idiotic decision to weaponize gold against Russia and, in parts, China, the flood of central bank buying was the primary driver of the relentless meltup in gold, a meltup that shows no signs of slowing.
Amazingly, both Dimon and Griffin are very wrong in believing that capital is flowing from risk assets to gold. To get a sense of just how underowned gold is, read the latest BofA Fund Manager’s Survey to find that the allocation among Wall Street professionals to gold is a paltry 2.4%.
Which however is a huge amount considering the allocation to crypto is less than one-fifth that, or 0.4%.
Said otherwise, when the money really starts moving out of fiat and into gold and crypto, trust us: you will see a move in the price which makes the current spike looks like a quiet picnic.
Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
