Trump Is Eyeing the Biggest Monetary Shift Since Nixon
On August 15, 1971, Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and untethered the dollar from gold. Since that night, the dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power - and retirement savers have absorbed the cost. U.S. Code Title 31, Section 5117 gives the Treasury authority to reprice America's gold reserves from $42 per ounce to today's market value - a gap of 107x. More than 60 million Americans can move into physical gold inside a retirement account, tax-free and penalty-free.tc pixel
