Description

Gold and silver prices are booming, and it’s being driven by something deeper: how people are feeling about their money. When trust starts to break down, investors don’t just talk about it, they move their money. Darcy Ungaro, a financial adviser and host of the NZ Everyday Investor, is seeing more New Zealanders actively asking about gold, silver, Bitcoin, and other alternatives. It’s not out of greed, but out of caution. In this episode we talk about: Why gold and silver prices are rising Whether silver is a good investment, or just dangerously volatile The real risks behind the silver price surge (and why it can “rip your face off” if you get it wrong) Gold vs silver: how they behave differently in uncertain markets How to invest in gold and silver ETFs in NZ, versus holding physical metal How to think about allocation, not hype, when markets feel unstable If you’ve been wondering whether gold or silver belongs in your portfolio - or why so many people are suddenly asking the question - this episode will help you make sense of it.
