Rich Checkan, President and COO of Asset Strategies International, reveals how gold has outperformed all major indices over the past 24 years, with an 818% gain, highlighting the devaluation of the U.S. dollar. Speaking with Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron at the New Orleans Investment Conference, Checkan explains why equity market highs may not be "real" due to the dollar's loss of purchasing power. The discussion dives into gold’s behavior post-election, the effects of geopolitical tensions, and fiscal policy impacts on precious metals and investments. Checkan also provides his outlook on Bitcoin and its role in the evolving financial landscape.
