We already had a price run and guess what? People are still buying gold. Similar question was posed in 2008 with $800 gold, "Who will buy your gold at $2000?" Here we are.
@@lamarravery4094 Imagine what it would be if the dollar wasn't world's reserve currency. Oh, wait, you don't have to. Gold is breaking parabolic in several other currencies.

Exactly two years ago, one ounce Rhodium bars were selling for $30,000 and being purchased by coin shops nationwide and locally for $28,000 each with no problem whatsoever. If you had twenty ounces, they would immediately pay you about $560,000. In other words, when gold reaches $5,000 per ounce that will not be a big deal. $5,000 is just a drop in the bucket. $5,000 is only worth $1,000 today, compared to 40 or 50 years ago.
Truth. Everything is speculation at this point. I've bought gold at less than 400 dollars per ounce. If you were trying to buy gold today. You would have to wait to get your hands on it.
Rhodium is a HIGHLY illiquid market. You couldn’t have found anywhere near that amount. I looked into buying it in 2018. Spot was 2k ish and the most I could find was 1 oz for 8k! I passed because of how hard it is to move. Too much risk
Who will buy your gold at $5,000? Oh, I don't know, who bought bitcoin at $50,000? Seriously, if NO ONE would buy gold at $5,000 the price wouldn't get to $5,000!
Actually, they CAN eat fiat currency. It's main benefit is that it is self-wiping. 😉 But the "can't eat it" argument is completely illogical in that there are a great many things in this world that have value but that also are not edible. Can't eat my house, my car or truck, my chainsaw, my g_ns, my am_mo, etc. But they have good value anyway. Some of them even allow me to procure food.
If gold goes to $5000 an ounce we will have gone through major inflation and it will be bought right away. They were saying the same thing when gold went to $1000 and when it was heading to $2000. It will be bought at almost any price.
The best way to answer that is also to ask the ratio of those between a nicely tailored suit, dinner and a movie, a side of beef , a barrel of oil and a bushel of wheat.
@777 Trader you don't understand it. Gold went from 35 to 850 in a couple of years. Multiples and it will happen again until we get out of this fiat garbage!
@@777trader8 if the price were $5000 today of course people wouldn’t buy because the supply and demand has it lower. If it were $5000 then more buyers would put their gold on the market which would push the price down. I think the unstated premise of this is that the price hit $5000 organically through a balance of supply and demand. $2000 today for someone a few years back was what $5000 in the future seems like to us. If/when it comes, $5000 then will feel like $2000 today.
There will be panic buying and it will sell. I "seem" to remember gold at $150.00(ish) and being unable to pay so much. Smart shopper ME, decided to wait until it came down, more reasonable. Never did. I do remember waiting, seemed a LOT of people were just like me, waiting. Also Silver dollars were FREE, well "at cost" $1.00 each from the bank, you could buy all they had at the time. This went on for a LONG TIME. couldn’t give them away.
Exactly- most people don’t understand the price of gold does not change, it’s the purchasing power of the fiat currency that changes and supply demand. But supply demand is not the main reason gold goes up
@@adamo36532 probably closer to 70 my dad did a tour of the Canadian mint in grade 7 he said they could of bought a ounce for 33$ Canadian. He went with the chocolate versions instead because he could eat them on the way home.
Heck, son, you're still a kid. lol I'll be 74 in a couple of months and you're right about not worrying too much about the future gold prices. The good part of this is that we have some gold as a financial backstop and as an asset we can pass down to our kids and grandkids, if it turns out that we really didn't need it. Funny how such things used to look so far in the future but seem a lot closer these days. But, it is what it is and no one gets outta here alive.
8 years ago, in 2015, I almost sold my south Florida condo for $115,000; a nice price at the time. 7 years later, in 2022, the exact same villa in the building next to mine sold for $287.000, in a bidding war. Who would have guessed that in a period of 7 years my condo's value would soar by 250%.This is a similar scenario to gold rising from $2000 to $5,000 per ounce.
Gold and silver are 4th level back to keep you from starving after a worst-case scenario. They are behind 6 months of food (rice and beans), a garden, and an orchard. Yes, my grandparents described the great depression.
@Kelly Harbeson Rice is available at low cost these days and can be stored for long periods of time. It makes a pretty good staple for a food stack. So do dry beans.
Bare in mind that by the time gold reaches 5k, wages should also have increased significantly in relation so it won't be as much of a jump as we think it is now
I have a small amount of this “fairy dust” because it enables the individual citizen to have unique ownership in the digital realm: if you own the private key, you own it (unlike the coming CBDCs that our marxist overlords will have full control of). I think this aspect of “fairy dust” has some value. How that value should be quantified into fiat currency value, eg $27k or 50c or $1mill, I can’t say. That’s why I only have a small amount of this “fairy dust” compared to precious metals. But I support it in the face of Mr Schwab saying”You will own nothing and be happy”! 😉
@@dinsy512 Interesting view of something that only exists in a virtual world solely based on the greater fool theory. It's a fart in the wind and as such it requires digital images of gold in the shape of a coin while using 'coin', 'mining', and 'wallet' for the masses to play lip service to it. Transaction fees apply and it must be converted to fiat for settlements. Those who enjoy gambling that grew up with a smart phone as part of their being certainly have flocked to all forms of it as well as NFTs. The Schwab reference sums that stuff up quite nicely as no 'virtual currency' or NFTs exist so yes, I guess his aim is good with that arrogant statement. Cheers!
@@dinsy512 I don't own any cryptos but can see their value to those who live in countries with draconian capital controls. National borders are not much of an obstacle to cryptos. This is one of the major reasons why nations will be outlawing cryptos, especially when they have their own CBDC. National governments and central banks derive enormous power from their ability to create "money" from nothing. Neither has a good record of sharing their power unless they are absolutely forced to do so.
My thoughts have never been to sell my metals back, but to use them to purchase other things if and when need be. The thought of selling back to a coin dealer sounds short-term thinking or an emergency. But, again, if that time comes, I will use it like we do fiat.
@Kelly Harbeson While such a dire situation is not impossible, it also does not seem to have high odds of occurring. PMs are definitely buy and hold assets. Many who stack know that PM ownership is likely to be a lifetime purchase.
When I started stacking gold could be sourced around 700/OzT. It is possible that I will, eventually, look back on purchases around 5k/OzT and regret not purchasing more.
@@tommoore4717 Along the same tangent, isn't it disturbing that approximately 60% of Americans couldn't put their hands on 1k in short notice without incurring debt?
I think its more of a case of people not selling. We've had a good run of Gold prices going up and at the moment here in the UK, its getting difficult to find anything worth buying, (particularly pre-owned) at a sensible price. As you say, the higher the price the more people rush into it. When Gold hits $5000, (£4000) I will let you know if I want to sell anything from MY stack, at the moment the answer would probably be a resounding NO, and I will probably still be adding to it.....though at a much slower pace, unless that £600K house is back on the market for £300K!!! 😁
Being so new to the PM game I’m not worried about selling, I’m worried about BUYING! As price increases my cash isn’t increasing to match. I’m hoping it comes down and stays under $2000 for the next couple years so I can catch up on my stack.
@@tweety7353 What is funny is this post could be verbatim on a pro-Bitcoin video, just substitute AU/AG for BTC. It's funny how similar both camps are but they hate each other. LOL.
3 gold oz for a truck. 1/2oz for a used car is my guess for the days ahead if gold is revalued to true worldwide demand after paper market and petro dollar collapse.
I found out a funny thing about human nature & psychology. When things are cheaper, nobody wants it, when the price jump to outrageous levels, people will fall over themselves to procure it. So when Gold blows through 5k and silver above $50 per troy ounce, there will be a line at the LCS to sell but there will be a longer line into the street to buy!...
At $5000 an oz, the person who would buy is the same person who would buy 2 oz at $2500 an oz. Did people worry who would buy at 1000 when it cost 500?
Yes, some did. In fact, gold prices have been a topic of debate ever since it got to $35 an oz. back in 1933. But here is an interesting point. Social Security started making benefit payments back in 1935. At that time, the usual pay-out was $35 a month. Oddly enough that was equal to the price of an oz. of gold. Today, the average SS benefit is around $1700 a month. An oz. of gold is just above that but it's close enough to say that the SS benefit payment from 1935 until 2023 is similar in terms of its buying power. An oz. of gold is higher priced than the $1700 average SS benefit of today by about $475 or so. Saving in gold for one's retirement seems a pretty decent idea, along with other investments, of course.
It's like any other asset. The price is determined by what people are willing to pay. If the price hits $5,000, then BY DEFINITION that means people are willing to pay $5,000. If nobody were willing to buy your gold at $5,000, then again... by definition, that means the price did NOT hit $5,000 in the first place. The price is NOT set first, and then you see if anyone's interested. The price of gold is merely defined by "what are people willing to pay right now?"
If gold was to hit $5000 id hate to see what else is happening in the economy and how society is effected, so I honestly think if it goes up that much the last thing educated ppl will want to do is get rid of a hard asset like gold for something that's worthless
Also I'm a bank owner and a firm believer in banks and safety deposit boxes are cheep rent in a vault that u have access to even if the bank is closed so think about that.
1830 - Who is going to buy your gold at $50/oz? lol 1953 - Who is going to buy your gold at $90/oz? rofl 2000 - Who is going to buy your gold at $700/oz? lmao 2050 - Who is going to buy your gold at $65,000/oz? ROFLMAO!!!!
If gold goes to $5,000 an ounce it's likely that I won't be selling. I appreciate the honest look at something that, while it will likely never happen, makes people feel good to know they have an out if it does. Thanks!
@Kelly Harbeson The choice part in this is owning the gold and silver to sell when we most need it. Those who could own PMs but have chosen not to will be the ones who are REALLY sorry.
The only thing I would do to capture profit would be to convert silver directly to gold and sell gold as little at a time as possible to pay the bills. Silver I play with, gold is my store of value and a permanent hedge to cash. Everything else is vapour.
I believe gold will reach 5k/oz finally, but should be over decades. Though I wish gold be higher, 5k/oz means serious inflation of the whole society, don't expect that day..
My wife has no interest in this. So I’m playing this in the background so she catches the gist of what you’re saying. She’s afraid I am going to become a border of wealth without enjoying it. This was excellent. Thanks for that.
Gold is the most liquid asset on earth. Only cash (if u consider it an asset, I do not) is more liquid. Stocks and bonds may look like liquid on a click but if things get really scary, you can liquidate them on 0 value. Gold has been and will be the king for centuries to come.
The price action from 2011 until now has really given the precious metals people normalcy bias. They think gold will trade for under 2000 per ounce forever.
Why would anyone think that when we know what the prices of gold and silver have done in the past? This is the proof that anyone would need to see that it is the great fiat debt paper currency experiment that is now on life support, not gold or silver. Prices spiked in 2011 due to a number of factors, including a near-miss with the so-called debt ceiling not being raised before a national solvency issue occurred. We have that same issue today and it will be interesting to see how or even if it gets resolved before its deadline is reached.
I'm more interested in when folks will start buying goods with gold and silver. Also curious if we can exchange ounces for kilos if we buy enough ounces with minimal fees.
People think that it would be difficult, if private sellers, yet no one is thinking about using it as collateral or credit lines within the business market. (Banks, private farms)
I would find someone who would trade land for the gold because the dollar would be in the dumpster...it is not that gold goes up, the buying power of the dollar goes down.
I would have a hard time parting with that much gold lol... Even if i needed the cash. Takes so long to accumulate and a minute to sell. I'm always here till the end brother 🤙🏻
U B Welcome!!! Blessed are the Peacekeepers!!! BTW… Thanks for your “bandits” behind you ~ and, can’t wait for the Silver Guy to be un-blind-folded!!! 🎉
Central banks, goldsmiths, Indians, commodity traders, and retail FOMO buyers will be buyers of gold at any price. Remember, people were still buying Bitcoin all the way past $60k. I will also be a buyer of gold at any price when I can make a good ratio trade with my silver, or with excess cash if there's no better place to put it.
@@dsmith4140 this is what scares me but I think with how rapid things change these days mainly increasingly I think gold probably won't ever got below $1600 again but I have no clue for sure obviously. Just my opinion.
25 years ago, when Gold was below $300, people was saying nobody will buy gold at $1000. When gold hit $1000, people start saying nobody will buy gold at $2000. 😅😅😅Worldwide central banks are buying more physical gold than before and more central banks are joining in or start buying physical gold. GOLD are tire 1 asset, another international currency.😉😉😉
Remember all those numbers and zeros dont mean anything. Gold can get to $20,000 and you will still have buyers. Houses used to average tens of thousands, now they're hundreds of thousands and soon millions.
Some states are passing legislation to allow people to pay taxes with precious metals. Those states are also working on creating their own PM currencies. Soon enough folks will be able to use gold to buy real estate directly. I also read that mortgage lenders are including new language in contracts to allow for buyers to make mortgage payments with gold.
There will be plenty of people who will buy at $5000 an ounce. In 1998 1 was paying $250 an ounce. Today it’s around $1960 an ounce and a few weeks ago it was over $2000 an ounce.
The audible book "When Money Dies" Hyperinflation in Weimar, Germany the citizens sold all their gold at the start of hyperinflation when the price only tripled which was a huge mistake because shortly after the German Mark was worthless and a few ounces of gold could have bought you quality hotel in Berlin.
I never intend to sell. I haven’t so far. Using it may be something I’d consider but selling? There are exceptions of course but all things considered, I’d rather keep and use as insurance not investment.
@@2is1gold I’ve been enjoying your videos as they are vastly different to the doom and gloom of all the other channels I watch over the last few years. Like you, I’ve slowed down a little with my purchases once I hit 100oz Au and 3000oz Ag , but always on the look out from Perth Mint (As I’m an Aussie) for those juicy new releases! Keep up the great work.
I think the higher the Gold Price gets the more holding some fractional could become an advantage when it comes to selling. For example: A lot of people buy Bitcoin. But at today’s prices, how many actually buy a whole one?
bought it at $1700 per ounce and my local shop just paid $2450 an ounce. When gold was $800 people said the same thing. My dealer will buy 10 if i sell 10. That’s their business
I sold some silver during the last mania run. I think it was between 40 and 43 dollars at the time. I remember thinking there was no way they would want to buy it. But, to my surprise, there was literally another guy there waiting for me to sell so he could scoop them up, lol. From what I could gather from the shop owner, they sell MORE when the price gets weird. Back then old Engelhard bars were nothing special; now I wish I had held on to them...
Always appreciate your reality based take friend! You articulated so many good points here. I have always been fascinated by the unique phenomenon of buying mania on price runs of pms. 5k gold insinuates devastating inflation levels. Likely at that point the dollar will not be the primary valuation metric for anything. The end of times fantasists can make all the plans they want but in truth we are soft collectively and these scenarios represent a brutal and needed reality check. Financial stress takes a back seat when day to day life is a constant primal attempt at survival.
makes you wonder what would be the prices of goods and services if gold hits $5000 and gosh what would the dollar look like thanks for sharing another great video it sure got me to thinking peace and ty well appreciated .
Agreed. Financial systems can adapt to most changes that come along but perhaps not instantly. It takes some time to sort out such things and get over the shock of whatever happened to send gold prices up that high. But, as in the past, we'll get over it and go on with our lives.
I’m in my early 30’s, I’m confident I’ll see 10K gold and possibly higher in my lifetime. It’s a long hold though, it’s not a fast play. It’s shocking that gold has done as well as it has this far into the rate hike cycle, incredible things to come 🚀🚀
What people miss all to often is that the value of gold never changes, fiat paper currency does. When toilet paper in certain economies is worth more than their government issued promissory notes then $5000, $10,000, $15,000 price for gold is not out of the realm of possibilities. That being said, I’d part with every ounce of gold I have for a lake house in the mountains. I think you would too @2is1😉 Cheers🥃
Who will buy at $5000? This is the mistake of always determining "value" in constantly depreciating FRNs. Who will buy Big Macs for $150? That's what happens in hyperinflation.
