Gold in a bubble?

0.8% of all global financial assets are currently invested in gold, gold shares, and gold ETFs.

In 1932 it was 20% and in the 1980s it was 26%.

TODAY? 0.8 Percent!

Gold in a bubble? I seriously don't think so.

And what happens when that 0.8% starts getting back in step with historical percentages? Got Gold?

  • Gold is not in a bubble. It will always be a safe haven. Our printing press governments are to thank for that.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    At any given period of time, gold can be a terrible investment.
    However, over a long period of time, say 20 -30 years, it will
    maintain its relative value . This means that in 30 years, it will take
    the same amount of gold to buy a car, house or washer dryer then
    it does today. In shorter periods, it can lose half to 2/3s of its relative
    value.If you are a short times, you makes your bet and you takes your
    chances.
