People choose to buy gold for various reasons, such as it’s historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange, it’s potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and it’s relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also offers diversification benefits to investment portfolio due to its low correlation with stocks and bonds. However, investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for everyone. Investors should carefully evaluate their objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation before deciding.
Is it really worth investing in gold in 2025, I’ve been on the sidelines watching the market for awhile and it seems to be pretty stagnant to me not that it matters because I’m in it for the long run, but how can one generate actual profit in this current market?
When 💩 hits the fan a chicken coop and a food producing garden on my back yard is Gold too.
thank you random guy on youtube
My old college finance professor once said, "the best protection against rising inflation is real estate and gold".
Pretty sure you misspoke at first when you said gold is blue and stocks are red
Word to the wise… If you cannot handle volatility, and you cannot handle a long timeframe… Whatever you do do not invest in gold mining stocks.

Why I like saving in Gold? It’s a bit of a hassle to spend it accidentally. And my wife loves to spend money accidentally. But she also avoids hassle.
