Does anyone buy physical gold for investment?

I had a good laugh yesterday. I wanted to round up an order of silver to get free shipping, so I added a 1 gram gold bar..which I had never ordered before.

I got the shipment in and looked at the gold bar and couldn't stop laughing at the tiny amount it was. I told my wife that if anyone ever asks if we have gold, I can say we have a little without lie.

Yeah, dont sneeze, or you'll lose it. I've looked at the gram gold because its low cost. But dad refuses to let me get them. Every time I look, he just takes my money and gets a 1/10oz and puts it in my stack.

I've been buying silver and copper rounds. Well, more copper than silver. Lately, with silver up, Morgans and peace dollars are still a good buy.

Or convert your 401K to an IRA then convert that to a Roth IRA. You'll have to pay the tax when you convert it but then throughout your retirement you will never have to worry about RMD's or any tax increases. You've already paid the taxes when you convert it so you'll never have any future tax worries.

Look into forming a “Charitable Trust” that will provide income and protect from taxes. I understand you get a large tax break through that vehicle.

Jewelry has long been an integral part of our lives. Many of us wear them not only on holidays or to work, but even at home. With their help, you can create a certain image, attract the attention of others, make your appearance more harmonious, complete. Jewelry performs an aesthetic function, is an accessory that can emphasize social status, can be a wonderful gift for a loved one, serve as a talisman, amulet. You can always buy jewelry for Christians. This is a great solution for those who practice religion.

Just don't wear it around Rodeo Drive in LA.
 
I think precious metals are a good choice because they are easy to store. Also, you will have profits in the future; stock markets can't promise that for sure. If you are choosing between metals, my advice is to invest in gold or platinum. Their price is unlikely to ever fall. However, I would prefer to invest in real estate. This type of investment gives you more options, and being a landowner is one of the most profitable types of income. If you don't want to buy real estate, you can even become a co-owner, which requires less money and still provides many benefits.

Many investors prefer to hold physical gold for a variety of reasons. Some believe that it provides a more stable store of value than paper assets, especially in times of economic or political turmoil. Others believe that gold's rarity makes it a good hedge against inflation. And some enjoy the beauty and history of gold coins and bars. If you're considering buying gold for investment purposes, you should keep a few things in mind that my financial advisor from https://stephenswmg.com taught me. First, it's important to understand that gold is a long-term investment. It doesn't produce income like stocks or bonds, so it's not something you're going to cash in for a quick profit. Second, gold is subject to the same price swings as any other commodity. So, suppose you're looking to buy gold to protect your portfolio from a market downturn. In that case, you need to be prepared for the possibility that the price of gold could also drop.
 
Many may laugh at me for this, when I buy gold or silver I get it in my hand, weigh it, and put it away. I don’t trust these groups that sell you gold stock or say they are holding for you.

Sounds like a Bernie Madoff thing
