I know usually this is kept on the money forum but the dams burst and etfs and tariff talk is the norm today.

Ask price for a certified ounce of bullion gold right now is $3122.29 12:32PM EST.

DIVERSIFYING investments one day at a time. Your ETFs drop but Your tangibles skyrocket. Nobody hits all the slot machines in the same day in the real world almost nobody.

You won't get spot price when you sell it. You have to pay 28% 'collectable' tax on the profits.

Because when the market goes down people move their money to gold until it gets low enough to buy back in. So when the market goes down, gold goes up and vica versa.

The market has steadily been increasing since the end of COVID, and so has the price of gold.

I have precious metals as a hedge because I'm betting that if the dollar goes to shite, the sheriff will take gold/silver for property tax payment.

You clearly don’t know what you are talking about. Paying taxes on precious metals is hilarious.

I don’t honestly know, as it’s kept outside the home as insurance requires I had a small flower pot full last time it was all together in the early 2,000s and people couldn’t believe how much that little pot weighed.

Today you can’t put your family into that type of risk and I prolly shouldn’t have done it then but $300 vs $3000 is different.

I just buy a few gold coins a year now.

The market was increasing because it had an endless supply of cheap money but experienced investors knew the endless money supply would cause inflation therefore making it necessary to continue to invest in gold

Yep, when things are uncertain people put their money in gold. Gold is flowing out of Europe to America at a crazy pace the last few months. They are are about to go to a digital currency and they will be able to control the peoples money as they fall off the cliff with all the war talk. Gold always flows away from chaos.

You're an idiot if you don't buy gold.

Exactly. I own tangible gold. The loopholes in place that help you to avoid taxes are really easy to exploit. What alot of folks don't realize is that if you sell gold properly, you're on the honor system when it comes to taxes.
