Should You Invest In Gold?

Should You Invest In Gold?

With gold at a six-year high, is now the time to invest? What determines the price of gold and what are ways one can invest in this precious metal? We also explore whether gold is an effective inflation hedge and store of value.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How has gold performed as an investment over different time periods.
  • How gold has outperformed inflation, but has not been a great inflation hedge.
  • What are the challenges to gold being a safe haven
  • How gold’s performance is driven by fear and momentum
  • Why gold is a speculation and not an investment.
  • Why Ray Dalio and Jim Grant recommend gold but Warren Buffett is more skeptical.
  • How to invest in gold via an ETF, physical coins or the gold futures market.
