Mom prefers gold
My mom used to tell me if i want to buy jewelry, then go for gold. I told her i prefer silver as it’s easier to match with today’s fashion and not so garish if worn during the day. I know gold is still the best precious metal to buy, but then, it’s so expensive. She did however advised me to buy gold coins as a form of gold investment. It will only appreciate and if one day, i need cash, i can sell it off without much losses. Everything depreciates, but not gold. One day, when i’ve made enough money i’ll buy some gold coins for safekeeping.
