Been wondering whether I should buy some gold. Have you seen gold prices? Over the last year, it looks like it would have been a really good investment. No guarantees if I was to buy some gold now that there would be a similar increase over the next year - in fact, that is probably very unlikely. But with all the Trump-induced economic instability and turbulence, gold does seem like a safe bet. And apparently one of the best places to buy gold is Costco, whose markup is relatively low. Sadly the precious metal that I own a lot of - silver, mainly in the form of James Bond-related coins - hasn't seen similar gains. Typical. I'd still much rather invest in something tangible like these than take my chances on cryptocurrency.
