Investing in gold is a four-step process:
Set your goal.
Set an allocation.
Choose a form.
Consider your investment timeline.
Today, we're delving deeper into step 2, setting the appropriate gold allocation. After determining your investment goals for buying gold in the first place, next comes understanding how much to buy.
Learn more: How to invest in gold in four steps
Allocation is the composition of your portfolio across different types of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and gold. Setting a target allocation for each asset type helps you control risk over the long term because asset values change over time.
Stocks appreciate, for example. Unless you periodically rebalance your holdings to restore the target allocation, the appreciation can leave you over-concentrated in equities.
Scott Travers, author of 'The Coin Collector's Survival Manual' and editor of COINage magazine recommends holding 5% to 15% of your net worth in gold. Other experts advise going as high as 20% if you are risk-tolerant. A review of gold's historic behavior in light of your risk appetite should help you identify the right allocation percentage.

Remember, too, that your target allocation includes the value of the gold you already own. Travers recommends checking your jewelry box before buying more gold. Given gold's sharp rise in value over the past 12 months and more, your gold jewelry may be worth more than you think.
Travers warns against selling your jewelry to buy gold coins because you will pay dealer fees on both transactions.
Whether you're tracking the price of gold since last month or last year, the price-of-gold chart below shows the precious metal's steady upward climb in value.
Historically, gold has shown extended up cycles and down cycles. The precious metal was in a growth phase from 2009 to 2011. It then trended down, failing to set a new high for nine years.
In those lackluster years for gold, your position will negatively impact your overall investment returns. If that feels problematic, a lower allocation percentage is more appropriate. On the other hand, you may be willing to accept gold's underperforming years so you can benefit more in the good years. In this case, you can target a higher percentage.
The precious metal has been in the news lately, and many analysts are bullish on gold. In May, Goldman Sachs Research predicted gold would reach $3,700 a troy ounce by year-end 2025. That would equate to a 40% increase for the year, based on gold's January 2 opening price of $2,633. Rising demand from central banks, along with uncertainty related to changing U.S. tariff policy, are the factors driving the increase.

The behavioral healthcare leader also welcomed four new members to the board: Carrie Blair, Mary Toews, Monique Liard, and Van Dinh-Kuno. Ivory, who has served on the board since 2021, assumes the role of board chair after previously serving as vice chair. He is an associate attorney at Davis Wright Tremaine, where he focuses on complex commercial litigation. 'In my time on the Compass Health board, I've been incredibly impressed by the organization's ability to drive innovation in order to better serve clients,' said Ivory. 'As board chair, I look forward to building on that momentum – ensuring we remain centered on our vision of creating communities where everyone receives equitable support to heal and thrive. It's a privilege to help guide an organization with such a meaningful purpose.' Ivory succeeds immediate past chair Alex de Soto, a partner and search practice leader at CFO Selections, who led Compass Health through critical progress on funding and construction for the Marc Healing Center, Phase II of the organization's three-phase Broadway Campus Redevelopment. De Soto, a board member since 2012, will continue serving as treasurer. 'Alex has set a strong example as board chair, and I have no doubt that Macaulay will carry that leadership forward with integrity and vision,' said Tom Sebastian, CEO of Compass Health. 'Both are seasoned, respected professionals with a deep commitment to mental health. Add in their strategic insight, and you've got exactly the kind of leadership our board needs.' Joining Ivory in new leadership roles are Hillary Preston as vice chair and Mena Peebles as secretary. Preston, who joined the Compass Health board in 2022, serves as associate general counsel at Cambia Health Solutions. Peebles, regional director of operations at Mercy Housing, steps into the secretary role with a background in affordable housing and medical support services. 'It's been such a rewarding experience getting involved with Compass Health, and I'm excited to expand my role on the board,' said Preston. 'The organization continues to inspire me with its unwavering commitment to showing up for those who need it most, and I'm grateful to be a part of that effort.' The board also added four new members in 2025: Carrie Blair, chief marketing officer at Matrx Pharmacy, brings extensive expertise in pharmaceutical services for residential and healthcare facilities, and in partnering with behavioral health providers, including Compass Health, to holistically support client needs. Mary Toews, executive director at Mari's Place for the Arts, was drawn to Compass Health because of her passion for the arts and the role creative expression plays in supporting mental health. Monique Liard, administrative and financial officer at the Port of Everett, brings valuable financial and operational insight, with an emphasis on policy guidance to support strategic growth. Van Dinh-Kuno, executive director at Refugee & Immigrant Services Northwest, has collaborated with Compass Health for years to connect community members to behavioral health services, and now looks forward to deepening that partnership through board service. Additional board members include Cynthia Weaver, member since 2022 and Beneficial State Bank vice president and relationship manager, and Laura Padley, member since 2023 and global development manager and AI expert at Microsoft. 'This year, Compass Health introduced a bold new vision, mission, and values – and our board of directors will be instrumental in bringing those to life,' added Sebastian.

A look at Jomboy Media's rise from podcast to MLB partner
Major League Baseball has struck a partnership deal with Jomboy Media, the sports content company that rose to prominence through viral lip-reading videos and now boasts 2 million YouTube subscribers. The partnership comes as MLB seeks to reach younger audiences through authentic digital content creators. Jomboy Media recorded 93 million social media engagements last year and has grown since its humble beginnings as a hobby podcast in 2017. Co-founder Jake Storiale said the company never envisioned reaching this scale when he and Jimmy O'Brien started their weekly Yankees podcast. "The original dream was maybe like the kooky spring training guys or something like that," Storiale said during an appearance on "CBS Mornings Plus" Monday. "And now it's turned into a 60-person business." The deal represents years of parallel work between the organizations, according to Courtney Hirsch, the CEO of Jomboy Media and O'Brien's sister, who helped broker the partnership. "We both have the same mission to grow the game and to serve baseball fans," Hirsch said. "It took years in the making." What finally pushed the partnership over the finish line after years of discussions was the growing influence of digital content creators in sports, Hirsch said. "I think the power of content creators is really undeniable, and the impact that they're having on sports," she said. "Major League Baseball recognizes that it's important to have authentic voices speaking to fans, and then also creating content on digital platforms like we do to reach people where they're at and create new fans because that's really our superpower." Jomboy Media has expanded beyond baseball commentary to include multiple podcasts, TV shows and warehouse games featuring backyard-style sports competitions. The company's breakdown videos, which often include lip-reading analysis of on-field conversations and confrontations, have become particularly popular for bringing viewers closer to the action. "Sports is the best reality television still," Storiale said. "The breakdown videos that Jimmy does, I mean it brings you on the field and that's kind of what fans want." The company name originated from an iPhone autocorrect error that changed "Jimmy" to "Jomboy," which O'Brien adopted as his social media handle on his mother's advice to use a nickname online, Hirsch said. Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.

OneLegacy's Donate Life Rose Parade® Float Announces Its 2026 Float Theme, Treasure Every Moment Together
The Float Will Feature Dozens of Organ, Eye and Tissue Donors, Recipients and Living Donors on New Year's Day to Celebrate the Power of Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OneLegacy announced the theme of their 2026 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float, Treasure Every Moment Together. This entry will be featured in the 137th Rose Parade® presented by Honda on January 1, 2026, in Pasadena, California. As part of this iconic New Year's Day celebration, OneLegacy's float will join dozens of floral floats, marching bands, and equestrian units riding down Colorado Boulevard. The 2026 Rose Parade® theme, The Magic in Teamwork, celebrates the power of collaboration and collective achievement. It emphasizes that exceptional results come from a willingness to work together. Organ donation and transplantation rely on the coordinated efforts of hospitals, organ procurement organizations, transplant centers, donors, and recipients. When an organ donor gives the gift of life to a recipient, it exemplifies the theme chosen by Tournament of Roses President Mark Leavens. "OneLegacy has long been an inspiring presence in the Rose Parade," says Leavens. "Their float is more than a beautiful display; it's a powerful reminder of what's possible when people come together with compassion and purpose. Their message of generosity, hope, and teamwork reflects the very best of our community." OneLegacy's twenty-third entry into the Rose Parade®, Treasure Every Moment Together, highlights gratitude for moments shared with others. This lush tropical paradise is a reminder that registered organ, eye, and tissue donors offer the greatest treasure: the gift of life. Grateful organ recipients will sail through Pasadena, California, in two traditional canoes placed at the front of the float. The 2026 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® Float honors a community of people touched by the power of organ, eye, and tissue donation. Charles Meier, an award-winning float designer, created the vision for the 2026 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float. Three regal, great hornbill birds perch along the float, accompanied by monarch butterflies. Like donation and transplantation, great hornbills play a crucial role in sustaining the circle of life in their communities. Monarch butterflies represent transformation and rebirth and are often used as symbols of donation and transplantation. The centerpiece, an open treasure chest, overflows with flowers, pearls, and Floragraphs – floral portraits of organ, eye, and tissue donors. Artistic Entertainment Services (AES) will bring the float to life under the direction of the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float crew. Over fifteen hundred organ, eye and tissue donation advocates volunteer their time to decorate the float with organic materials such as seeds, grains, bark, and flowers. The decorating shifts commence in October and end in December, culminating in the premiere of the finished float on New Year's Day. OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float decorating shifts are posted on the float's website. "Every year, millions of people are inspired by the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float – partners, volunteers, donor families, recipients, living donors, parade attendees, and viewers around the world," said Prasad Garimella, CEO of OneLegacy. "In 2026, Treasure Every Moment Together reminds us that renewed life is the invaluable gift that organ, eye, and tissue donors leave behind." As the world's most visible campaign for organ, eye, and tissue donation, the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade®, float, produced by OneLegacy, is made possible by support from major organizations across the country. OneLegacy offers many sponsorship opportunities to those interested in amplifying the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation on a global scale. A full list of sponsorship opportunities can be found on the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float website. The OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade® float visually shows the impact of organ, eye, and tissue donation. California residents can learn more and register today on the OneLegacy website. Those outside of California can visit the National Donate Life Registry.
