Why I Made This Page

If you came from one of my videos, you already know how I feel about high-pressure sales in the gold world. That's exactly why I only send people to companies I've researched: educators on salary — not commission — who answer questions instead of pushing products. Read the guide. Take your time. Ask hard questions. If it's not for you, you've lost nothing — the guide is free either way.

You Don't Have Time to Recover From Another 2008

Three ways the same problem shows up when retirement is close:

Risk

The Math of Recovery

A 40% drop needs a 67% gain just to break even. Fine at 35. Brutal at 62 — the working years to earn it back simply aren't there anymore.

Risk

Sequence Risk

The same average returns in a different order can mean the difference between a comfortable retirement and going back to work. The years right before and after retirement are the ones a portfolio can least afford to lose.

Risk

Diversification

You can't predict the next drop — you can only make sure everything you own doesn't fall together. When stocks and bonds move as one, that's not really diversification.

The guide explains it — including whether it even makes sense for you.

About to retire and worried about a market drop wiping out my nest egg. The section on sequence-of-returns risk was eye-opening.
