Gold

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.
