What 1971 Changed About Your Money—and Why Gold Matters Now

In 1971, an ounce of gold cost $35; in this episode, Rich Bontrager and Priority Gold’s Michael Klaus compare that with a price of roughly $4,100 and examine what the shift says about the dollar’s buying power. They discuss why central banks are adding gold, silver’s industrial demand—from solar panels to computer chips—and claims of a multiyear silver supply deficit. Klaus also explains how a precious-metals IRA rollover works and what investors should consider before moving retirement funds. A pointed conversation about the case for hard assets—and the numbers and forecasts behind it.
