Title: Physical gold as my retirement fund?
Post by: Goose7 on February 25, 2014, 01:04:08 AM
So I wanted to get your guys thoughts about having a retirement fund in physical gold stored in a safety deposit box or fire proof gun case.

Gold price is very unstable, check last 30 years, and is losing value for the past 2 years...

I think gold is a great insurance in case shit hits the fan. However, I would keep most of my money somewhere generating income, probably stocks of some sort.

A physical gold allocation is wise
Just make sure you balance your retirement portfolio out with equities and cryptos

+1 more or less stable stocks is my choice.
Gold is dropping in price slowly but steady...

If you bought it when BTC price was at it's high, for BTC I think you made a great deal. Now I don't know. Myself as most people here are not experts in those stuff. If you want a retirement fund best open a IRA account if you are younger or some other savings account. Don't see any other way to have a better return, guaranteed that is.

Back in the 30's FDR confiscated gold from Americans. Gold in a safe deposit is an easy target for an insolvent government.

price is pretty stable but i'm not sure as these things change quickly, better than having it in btc's though in terms of stability.
