Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) found that Wyoming residents are more likely to invest in physical gold than in stocks. This trend is not limited to Wyoming; it’s a national phenomenon. The gold rush of the 1800s left a lasting impact on Wyoming’s economy and culture. The state’s nickname, “The Equality State,” is a testament to the role of gold in shaping its history. “The Equality State” is a nickname that reflects Wyoming’s history of granting equal rights to all its citizens, regardless of gender, race, or religion. The Wyoming Cowboys are a symbol of the state’s spirit and resilience.
