Some say that gold is never a good investment, since with an investment you have an income return. But gold is a reflex investment, which means that you buy it because things are happening to other types of investment and not because something is happening to the gold itself. Therefore, investments in gold should be limited to 5 to 10 percent of the financial assets.
Others say that you can do no better than purchasing gold. You will hardly ever lose any money with the metal but it will give you a small interest. Especially when it comes to inflation or other troubles with currencies, gold is good to back up the income and secure what you have.
The point of view of a woman is: buy gold jewellery. I’ll wear it as long as it is fashionable and we can afford it. When we need money, we can sell the items to Postal Gold. Thus, purchasing gold is a good idea. Maybe one could also split up the assets and invest it partly in gold shares and partly in gold jewellery.
