About the U.S. Money Reserve Team

In a recent episode of America’s Gold Authority Podcast®, we discussed how clients could be converting stock market gains into physical gold. Since then, I've had a chance to refine and extend my thoughts outside the time constraints of our podcast.   Here are three reasons to rebalance your portfolio at least once per year:  1) Your gains and losses are likely to have shifted the weights of the asset classes and risk…

As I write this, consumer and business confidence is plunging as the tech-heavy Nasdaq and broader-market S&P 500 stock indexes have fallen into correction territory, defined as a price decline of 10% off a peak, which for both indexes came only a month ago. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average sits a hair’s breadth above…

What are we to make of gold’s recent price fluctuations? I’m not concerned. Gold needs a little time to consolidate above $2,800/oz. before making an assault on $3,000/oz. That has been the pattern over the last year or so. First, it was $2,000/oz., then $2,300, then $2,600, now about $2,900. Each time the market rallied,…

“Well, Director Diehl, you were spot on with your gold price forecast last year. What does your crystal ball say about 2025?” First, I don’t have a crystal ball. I make my calls based on assessments of the forces that determine prices in the 21st-century market. Other analysts may say something similar, but many still…

After swinging around $2,650 per ounce early this fall, gold has risen by $100 in its relentless drive toward a new base of $2,700 per ounce. This has been the pattern of the current rally, which started with gold rising from $1,810/oz. to establish a new base at $1,900, then resuming its climb and consolidating…

Click here to read the first part of U.S. Money Reserve President Diehl’s in-depth analysis. It’s quickly becoming clear that President-elect Trump is committed to enacting his major campaign promises, tariffs, tax cuts, and immigration policies. Wall Street and most economists share a wide agreement that this agenda will require deficit financing, and nonpartisan projections…

A new day has dawned with a president-elect who promises wholesale changes in the way the nation manages its economy and its international affairs. What does this mean for those of us who hold gold or want to add gold to our portfolios? To answer that question, we review the forces that have driven the…

Day after day, our clients have seen gold prices set new all-time records, giving them wealth appreciation never before seen in the modern history of the yellow metal.  To sharpen this point: Over the last 12 months, the S&P 500 has risen 33%, the NASDAQ has climbed 37%, and the Dow has gained 27%, while…

The spot price for gold has crossed $2,500/oz. for the first time in history, rising by $700/oz., or 40%, over the last 10 months. Gold prices have never before risen so far so fast. This leads me to two questions: Why? And will this rally continue? Prices are determined by two forces: supply and demand.…

As I write this morning, gold prices have yet again set new records, breaking $2,500/oz. During this extraordinary 10-month rally that began at $1,820/oz., most analysts have focused on the forces that have driven rising gold demand over this period. And rightly so; these forces are having a dramatic impact on the gold market: Private Chinese…

News reports this week revealed that a confidential assessment by the Comptroller of the Currency—the OCC—a key U.S. bank regulator, found that 11 of the 22 biggest banks it oversees lack a full understanding of major risks they face. These 22 banks are a “Who’s Who” of major financial institutions serving the U.S. market and…

Over the last nine months, gold has rallied by $600 per ounce.  That’s a 33% increase in only nine months. Over that time, prices have repeatedly jumped on news, or speculation, that inflation was falling or that the Federal Reserve would soon cut interest rates.  This pattern was repeated on July 11, when inflation data was…
