Although I understand your hesitancy on adding gold, here's what got my attention. * The trend appears structural rather than cyclical, with central banks now holding more gold than US Treasuries for the first time since 1996. * Structural? That sends my antennae up! * The fundamental message is clear: the world's most sophisticated financial institutions are voting with their reserves, choosing gold over government bonds in unprecedented numbers. This shift may well define the next phase of global monetary evolution. * When I read that, I don't see governments selling gold because it is overvalued. I could be wrong of course, but it's the financial institutions driving price, not the FOMO retail investor as far as I can determine. I think I'm done buying though as I have a full position established, now I'm working on silver.
