I know most people aren't stackers and most people hear that and it's all they know about gold or silver.
That "it's not an investment because there's no return..." or whatever they claim.
I hear it from my mom who's all about stocks, endless bailouts and printing and whatever Dem is making promises at the moment.
The masses believe those statements about PMs and I just shake my head and say wow.
Last time I talked to her about gold she said "well gold can go down too!"
The last 10 years have been fruitless with that woman.
But she is not necessarily wrong. Gold might be an investment but it’s not necessarily the best or even a good one. If you had invested in commonwealth bank shares you would be a lot better off having the dividends and franking credits and price rises. Not all shares pay dividends and they can drop to zero which gold can’t (or hopefully won’t) do.
I’d never put all my money in gold. It’s useful if you can time your purchase right.
