# Precious Metals: Gold & Silver

Gold and silver are classic stability anchors in any portfolio. They help balance risk, preserve value over time, and move independently of equities or bonds. Wavealert lets you track **physical gold and silver holdings** just as easily as your other assets.

---

## Why Precious Metals Matter

### 1. Safe Haven

Gold and silver often gain value during uncertainty.
They help protect against inflation, currency risks, and market stress.

### 2. Diversification

They reduce correlation with other asset classes, lowering portfolio volatility.

### 3. Long-term Value Preservation

Precious metals have held real value for centuries — across political and economic cycles.

### 4. Inflation Protection

Their value often moves inversely to inflation, helping preserve purchasing power.
