    Gold is the shining embodiment of wealth. One ounce can cost up to $1,500. But other metals that are rarer than gold are much cheaper.

    Banks are buying gold and other Precious Metals because of they have remained stable or appreciated in this shambolic times with these banks collapsing, META down 40k, ALLP down 35k, Draft Kings down 6k, NIO down 15K, ABML down 8k, and my wife doesn’t know. I'm just hanging on to Jim Cramer's words about opportunities in volatile times so perhaps, I either wait for a recovery or pick profitable investments to substitute for my loss.

      The Collapse of Some Banks has torn into global markets, with investors ripping up their forecasts for further rises in interest rates and dumping bank stocks around the world. I'm at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping 200k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

    Analysts at JP Morgan have predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could fall below $1,260, while banks will not benefit from blockchain for at least three to five years, Reuters reported on Jan. 24.
    According to Reuters, analysts from the major global investment bank think that the true value of cryptos is still unproven, and that they only make sense in a hypothetical “dystopian” event, wherein investors have lost faith in major traditional assets like gold and the U.S. dollar. The analysts stated in a report:
    “Even in extreme scenarios such as a recession or financial crises, there are more liquid and less-complicated instruments for transacting, investing and hedging [than cryptocurrencies].”

      I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an asset manager, seeing that their entire skill set is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using an investment-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over “$900K”.

    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.

If they aren't brass then it is made of a harder metal usually to prevent flexing on a super thin movement which would affect the way gears engage. I only say this because the beginning explanation of gold is over video showing a watchmaker doing perlage on a brass main plate. Probably only watchmakers will notice, but just wanted throw a little knowledge out there in case it actually mattered to anyone.

    It makes for a great physical currency because of the fact it’s rare, but not to rare like some other metals, so there is still enough to go around and be used, liquidated. Other metals are too rare and there’s barely enough to go around. And some metals aren’t stable and very reactive. Gold is a stable, very eye appealing, rare metal. And metals are the best choice for currency because they last the longest. Silver is a great currency too because it’s rare, not as rare but rare compared to a lot of materials and most other metals. Has even more industrial uses, is eye appealing, and also is malleable like gold. Silver does tarnish but is easily cleaned

      @Dr.Science This is an astonishingly ignorant statement. Gold is pretty much a hedge against your own economy. You're literally betting against your currency/financial system. Gold is not a good investment unless you expect all other financial instruments to be worthless in the near future. Buying gold is just a diversified savings account, unless the world economy collapses.
      Read this: From 1972 through 2013, common stocks returned 14.68 percent in falling rate environments while gold futures returned 7.85 percent. In rising rate environments, stocks returned 8.47 percent while gold only returned 4.86 percent. When rates were flat, stocks provided a gain of 10.61 percent and gold returned 8.61 percent.
      Paper currency is foolish to hold, but you're clearly not well off you think gold is in itself an investment. Educate yourself. Stop upvoting this shit.

      because the price reflects the inflationary nature of fiat currency and the devaluation of the US dollar and other overly produced fiat currencies around the world. Gold will only go higher and higher as more banks get into more debt and more Governments keep printing fiat currency to keep this money=debt ponzi scheme going. Meanwhile gold stays gold.

Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.

    It's valid everycentury and nowaday it is still popular among the people. Gold has pretty much always been used by humanity to store wealth. It’s rare, it’s stable, it’s shiny and glamorous, it’s malleable, meaning it can be easily made into things like crowns. Sure, metals like osmium and uranium may be much rarer, but they don’t have the glamour of gold, plus they are rare to a point that they have little demand compared to gold.

      From a historical perspective, gold is NOT an investment. Gold does not even beat inflation over a 10 year period and put it simply, there is no increased demand for gold over time nor does the gold produce any cash flow or income. I would say gold is best seen as a hedge against economy disaster. Compare US equities return over gold for average 10 year period time you would realize that gold is a joke. Even bonds outperform gold lmao. I'm not trying to say that you should not buy gold but to the contrary to the media, you SHOULD NOT view gold as an investment but rather a form of diversification/hedge in your portfolio. I really get pissed off of how much media and people think gold is a long term investment

      trent jenkins it’s the cost of living that is consistently priced in gold when comparing historic economic periods. We adjust for inflation based on how much gold paper notes can buy today versus yesterday. Oil is far too volatile to use for reserves. When interest rates are not set by the federal reserve, and instead a market rate is determined, then people use banks to store their wealth who pay those savers a rate of interest for the ability to loan out those funds, all of which used to be backed by gold (until 1971, officially, and for effectively 5000 years prior). CPI and PMI may be correlated to current oil prices, but correlation is not causation. Let alone extraction rates are extremely volatile day to day, which is why banks dont stock their vaults with oil barrels.
