History doesn’t repeat perfectly, but it often rhymes.

Several economic indicators today — elevated market valuations, record margin debt, and widening wealth inequality — are being compared by economists to conditions that existed before past major downturns. At the same time, algorithmic trading and rapid capital flows mean market stress can accelerate faster than in previous decades.

In response, some investors are revisiting diversification strategies that include tangible assets, such as physical gold, as part of long-term wealth preservation planning.

A free educational guide explores these historical parallels and explains IRS-approved ways Americans can hold physical gold inside retirement accounts as a diversification tool.

Did the government just make a $500 trillion mistake? (ad)

A little-known government task force just wrapped up a 20-year project, and its findings could unlock access to a massive U.S. national asset. Under existing law, everyday Americans may now have a legal path to participate in what some are calling a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Details are still flying under the radar, but that may not last.
