Financial advisors love telling you to own gold.
"It's protection."
"It's insurance against economic collapse."
"Every portfolio needs 5-10% in gold."
But here's what they won't tell you…
The opportunity cost is massive.
You deploy $100,000 into gold.
It sits in storage.
Earns 0%.
Meanwhile…
Your business could reinvest that capital at 15-20% returns = $15K-$20K/year lost.
Real estate could generate 8-12% cash flow = $8K-$12K/year lost.
Even conservative investments earn 4-5% = $4K-$5K/year lost.
You're giving up $4,000-$20,000 annually to hold gold that does nothing.
That's the opportunity cost nobody talks about.
Now here's the question…
Why does protection have to be dormant?
What if your gold could:
✓ Protect against inflation (it's still physical gold)
✓ Generate ongoing returns (earn more gold ounces)
✓ Compound over time (ounces grow monthly)
That would eliminate the opportunity cost entirely.
That's exactly what Monetary Metals created.
You earn a return on your gold. Paid in gold.
Not dollars.Gold ounces.
Your gold allocation stops being dead weight in your portfolio.
It starts producing returns while maintaining full protection benefits.
The opportunity cost disappears…
Traditional gold: $100K deployed, 0% return, $4K-$20K annual opportunity cost
Monetary Metals gold: $100K deployed, earning gold returns, $0 opportunity cost
You keep the inflation protection.
You eliminate the drag on portfolio performance.
You actually build wealth while protecting it.
This is how wealthy families think about every asset.
It must serve multiple purposes.
Protection alone isn't enough.
It must protect AND produce.
If you're tired of gold just sitting there while opportunities pass by, explore this approach:

P.S. — I've been studying tax and wealth strategies for 40+ years. The opportunity cost of dormant assets is real. Make every dollar work.
