What if the safest-sounding asset in the world is the one nobody ever taught you how to own?

Greyson Geiler began his career on the trading floors of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and has spent more than two decades as an investment advisor. Today he is an Investment Advisor Representative with Andorra Capital and Lead Portfolio Manager of the GoldRush Yield Fund.

In this episode, Greyson explains what gold actually does inside a portfolio, why he is not worried about another 1933-style confiscation, how the IRS taxes gold as a collectible, and why a gold fund manager tells people to build a plan and an emergency fund before buying a single ounce.
