Augusta Precious Metals Review 2025
In general, if you have a longer time horizon, you're better off with the stock market or long-term growth investments that can survive downturns over time.
While having a small position in precious metals may dampen portfolio volatility in the short-run, the tradeoff between slightly dampened volatility and the lost long-term return is certainly not a prudent one, particularly for Generation-Z [or] millennials with long investing time horizons.
– Robert Johnson, a chartered financial analyst, chairman and CEO of Economic Index Associates and professor of finance at the Heider College of Business at Creighton University
Augusta requires a high initial investment of $50,000. Financial advisors typically recommend allocating no more than 5% to 10% of your overall portfolio to precious metals. That means, ideally, you need a total retirement portfolio of $500,000 to $1 million to justify that minimum.
The idea behind investing in a gold IRA, such as one offered by Augusta Precious Metals, is that it works as an inflationary hedge. For example, if you have your money in cash, the cost of inflation erodes your purchasing power. The strategy of using a gold IRA is that the underlying assets appreciate in either a tax-deferred or tax-free Roth account. Concierge Customer Service
Some of the perks of choosing Augusta are its transparent pricing and concierge-like customer service. It's a great option for those who'd prefer hand-holding when it comes to investment products. With Augusta, you'll be assigned a dedicated customer service agent throughout the account setup and management process.
The downside is you can't set up or apply for an account online. If you prefer to go to a website without having to contact a person over the phone for transactions, you're out of luck. The website chat feature funnels customers into a customer service phone call.

Sen. Warren issues call to Schumer, Jeffries: Get on the Mamdani affordability train
NEW YORK — Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Monday that Democratic Party leaders who've been slow to back mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani need to get on board because the upstart candidate's focus on affordability offers a blueprint as Dems across the country are facing electoral setbacks. Mamdani has struggled to shore up support from establishment New York Democrats, including U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Gov. Hochul, despite winning the June 24 Democratic primary. 'New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that delivering on it in meaningful, tangible ways that will touch working families is why we're here,' Warren said at a Mamdani campaign stop in Manhattan on Monday. The progressive, who ran for president in 2020, said her message was to elected officials hesitating to back Mamdani, while slamming former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who's running as an independent in November's mayoral election, as' bending a knee' to billionaires. New York City is seen as a bellwether for the country's politics, and the success to date of Mamdani's campaign, which features policy proposals aimed at affordability, populist messaging and ground outreach, has attracted attention from across the country as national Democrats struggle to find a clear vision. But, citing concerns about Mamdani's pro-Palestinian stance and call to raise taxes, some mainstream party leaders have been slow to embrace his candidacy. Mamdani and Warren appeared together Monday at a childcare campaign event at the DC37 union's downtown Manhattan headquarters. Childcare advocates gathered to talk about the high cost of childcare and the need for more affordable, or free, options. Expanding free childcare has been a core tenet of Mamdani's campaign. Contrasting Mamdani with Cuomo, the Massachusetts senator said the former governor's strategy is to 'go to a handful of billionaires, have 'em give you a bunch of money and hope that you will be able to flood the city with a bunch of negative ads and somehow that's going to float him to the top.' That strategy, Warren said, is ripped from a tired political playbook. Mamdani also attacked Cuomo's reliance on wealthy donors, including some who support President Trump, during the primary race. 'What New Yorkers showed by a record margin in a democratic primary was that they wanted a vision of this city that would make it affordable for each and every New Yorker,' Mamdani said. Talking to reporters in Midtown Manhattan, Cuomo challenged Warren's claim that he's focused on catering to billionaires. 'I don't even know what that means … I represented the people of this state, I fought more for the working families of this state and accomplished more for the working families of this state than either of them, frankly,' he said before listing off some of his gubernatorial accomplishments, like raising New York's minimum wage and jacking up taxes on millionaires in 2021. 'What did they actually do?' he continued. 'I'm a pragmatic progressive. I don't just talk about it, I do it.' _____
