Did The S&P 500 Really Hit An All-Time High?

Written By Matthew Copley

At first glance, the headlines tell us the S&P 500 has reached record levels. However, when inflation is factored in, the picture appears quite different. In this video, I break down why today's "all-time high" is more of an illusion than reality, and how comparing the S&P 500 against the gold standard reveals that the market would actually be down this year.

We'll take a step back and examine the history of the U.S. dollar, exploring how past gold revaluations shifted economic power and uncovering the lessons investors can learn from those moments.

This isn't just about numbers on a chart; it's about understanding what your dollars are really worth and how to protect your portfolio against inflation's silent erosion.
