It's only worth it in the very long term (10+ years).
Otherwise you'd be better of just putting your money into a high interest deposit account.

gold has been consistently climbing for nearly a century

silver just took a big hit and dropped about 200$ but it will breach the cap again


if you are doing it for investment you need to find a dealer who will sell to you at spot plus 10 because you wont see any profit until it grows +14

if you pay spot plus 20 you will need 24% growth to see anything



its grown by about 40% in the last two years

it was at around 960$

gold isn't an investment, it's speculation.

If you want to "invest" in it then by all means, do it. But I don't think it would be smart to put all your money into gold

too late - years ago would have been the time to be rich now

its actually a very lucrative method of investment just make sure you sell up before the government forces you to sell it to them for less than half price then jack the prices again

invest in forum gold

i prefer stocks
