Silver will outperform gold in 2026 - Here's why
Look, I'm going to say what everyone's thinking but afraid to say: Gold IRAs are boomer advice that doesn't apply to millennials.
I'm 32. I have 30+ years until retirement. Why would I lock up money in gold that historically returns 8% when I could be in index funds returning 10-12%?
The math doesn't add up. Gold is for people scared of their own shadow, not for young investors with time horizons.
Change my mind.

I was pretty skeptical about another gold IRA forum but the tools here on GIRAB actually surprised me — the calculator alone saved me hours of spreadsheet work.

I keep going back and forth between gold and silver allocations. The gold-to-silver ratio right now is making silver look attractive.

Genuinely curious — has anyone here actually tried to liquidate from their gold IRA? How smooth was that process?

Just started my rollover process last month. The paperwork alone almost made me quit lol.

This mirrors what I've been seeing too. The macro environment right now is making a strong case for physical metals.

My advisor told me 10-15% in gold is the sweet spot but I went heavier. We'll see how it plays out.

I rolled over about $80k last year. Honestly the hardest part was just picking which metals to hold. Still second-guessing myself.
