Tangible assets are important to consider in an inflationary environment because they tend to retain or increase in value, providing a stable hedge against the declining purchasing power of currency. For these reasons, gold is considered a long-term asset class. Brien Lundin (@brien_lundin), Editor of the Gold Newsletter and CEO of New Orleans Investment Conference, discusses the political perspectives surrounding gold ownership. He returns to the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to discuss the role of central banks in gold accumulation, concerns about government seizure of gold, and the value of rare coins. The discussion also touches on the challenges facing the diamond market due to lab-grown alternatives, the gold-silver ratio, and the future of Bitcoin in relation to gold.
