People ask me this constantly:
"Tom, should I invest in gold or real estate?"
Here's my traditional answer:
Real estate wins because:
✓ Generates monthly cash flow
✓ Provides depreciation tax benefits
✓ Compounds through rent increases
✓ Appreciates over time
Gold just sits there earning nothing.
So real estate wins, right?
Not so fast.
Because gold has advantages real estate doesn't:
✓ No tenants to manage
✓ No repairs or maintenance
✓ Complete liquidity (sell anytime)
✓ No transaction costs
✓ Global portability
✓ Can't be seized or foreclosed
The trade-off has always been…
Gold = Protection with no income
Real estate = Income with operational complexity
You had to choose.
Until now.
What if gold could generate returns like real estate does?
Not appreciation in dollar value. Actual income. Paid in gold ounces. Compounding monthly.
That's what Monetary Metals created.
Now the comparison change…
Traditional gold:
Protection ✅
Liquidity ✅
No income ❌
No compounding ❌
No operational burden ✅
Real estate:
Protection ✅
Liquidity ❌ (slow to sell)
Income ✅
Compounding ✅
Operational burden ❌ (high)
Monetary Metals gold:
Protection ✅
Liquidity ✅
Income paid in gold ✅
Compounding ounces ✅
No operational burden ✅
You're getting gold's protection + real estate's income generation.
This is how I think about asset allocation…
Every asset should serve multiple purposes.
Real estate: Protection + Income + Appreciation + Tax benefits
Gold (traditional): Protection only
Gold (Monetary Metals): Protection + Income + Compounding
The more purposes an asset serves, the more valuable it is in your portfolio.
So when someone asks me now, "Should I invest in gold or real estate?"
My answer is: "Why not both? And make your gold work like real estate does."
If you want gold that serves more than just protection, explore this:
