Episode Synopsis

Thinking about buying gold? In this episode, Lloyd James Ross dives into why he avoids gold despite its popularity as a “safe” asset. From massive lines at bullion shops to the risks of buying a non-productive asset, he breaks down why gold can often be a “birdless bush” investment, relying on the greater fool theory rather than producing real income. Lloyd also compares gold to income-generating businesses, explains historical drawdowns, and shares practical strategies to hedge inflation while actually growing your wealth. Whether you’re curious about gold, Bitcoin, or smart investing, this episode gives you a clear perspective on when to be greedy and when to be fearful.Want to achieve financial freedom and build lasting wealth?
