Why the Treasury still prices gold at 42 dollars an ounce (Ad)

The U.S. Treasury still values its gold reserves at 42.22 dollars an ounce, a price set in 1973. Gold trades near 4,500 dollars today, a 113-to-1 gap between book value and market reality. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said he wants to monetize the asset side of the balance sheet. A revaluation could add more than 1 trillion dollars to the government's books overnight. Certain gold miners still trade as if gold were under 2,000 dollars, even as prices near record highs.tc pixel

Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge. Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
