In this episode, we're talking about the Midas metal.

Gold has long been known as a store of value and a hedge against both inflation and global uncertainty. This is why it's also a part of many well-diversified savings strategies, including retirement accounts.

Yes, you can actually hold gold in your IRA—as long as you follow the rules. But should you own gold at all? And if so, is it appropriate for retirement account investing? Let's find out.

In this week's podcast, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week, we have a special guest, Devlyn Steele from Augusta Precious Metals, here to talk about everything gold related, including how to set up a Gold IRA.

Before we start, you need to know a couple of things. First thing, we have an advertising relationship with Augusta Precious Metals. However, we won't let that impact our opinions. Know why? Because we're journalists, that's why. Second thing, remember this isn't financial advice. So make sure to do your own research and consult your own experts before acting on anything you learn here.

OK, let's dive in.

Meet this week's guest, Devlyn Steele

During a three-decade financial services and economics career, Devlyn Steele has processed financial assets worth more than $2 billion.
