Should You Own Physical Gold? Understanding Precious Metals as Part of a Wealth Strategy
In this episode of the Wealth Architect Podcast, host Mark Yegge sits down with David Beahm, President and CEO of Blanchard and Company, to explore the role precious metals can play in a long-term wealth plan.
David and Mark discuss the differences between owning physical gold, gold ETFs, and mining stocks, helping investors understand the potential benefits, risks, and considerations of each approach. They examine key factors including buying and selling costs, liquidity, storage, inflation protection, and how gold may fit within a diversified investment portfolio.
David also shares insights into how Blanchard helps clients evaluate, purchase, and hold precious metals while explaining why he views gold primarily as a tool for wealth preservation rather than an income-producing investment.
