Retire With Ashley

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I'm talking about gold - is it a smart hedge or a bad investment?

Maybe you've heard recently in the news about the price of gold - it's currently hovering close to $3500 an ounce as I record this podcast, up 30% this year alone. It's made strong gains since bouncing around a lot during the Covid era and bottoming out in the fall of 2022. Since that time, it's up over 100%, which is absolutely stunning!

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host, Ashley Micciche.

I'm a financial advisor and co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $425M in assets.

For 17 years, I've helped clients retire with confidence, and my goal on this podcast is to simplify the complexities of retirement planning so you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying your retirement years while maintaining financial security.
