Hope all is well for members of my past Been some time since a Log In Been living life , working , investing . Been able to keep the stack alive I don't buy as furiously as the past but do buy my one ounce a week at a local coin store $3 to $4 over & I don't care just glad to support a local store. when in the mood ill get a little gold 1/10 . I have purchased stock and developed a strategy even some crypto . To preserve the stack one needs a first line of defense . reserve investments a part of the Fiat world . For stock what I discovered worked well for me was the advent of no fee stock brokers I started by brown bagging lunch & investing with that money . I invest in all sectors picking good values . If I buy to high & price goes down I buy more . Investing in silver has shaped my mind well for investing . I found for me to invest in Hundreds of company's (well over ) lost count basically your planting seeds . If you get tight and need funds stocks are better to sell then silver Fiat First I have learned . Having many stocks allow you to sell what is good and not sell what is growing . Clearly a correct investment can surpassed dreams. But silver and gold proved to me a truth During the start of the pandemic my stock value plummeted ( stocks later on rebounded ) Silver / Gold had a hiccup & gained / held value Diversity my friends is key
Yes, money in a bank account is a losing proposition. Inflation rate is higher than the meagre interest rate.
