Boy are you on the wrong thread. This thread is a text book example why some people buy some gold during times of crisis.
Who can dispute your comments over very long spans of time. I don’t see anyone on this thread advocating putting all of your money in gold and leaving it there forever, but those people who saw risk, flights to safety, dollar depreciation and fear were very observant and shrewd to buy gold going into this crisis. They have saved a great bounty of wealth others have lost or risked losing.
You did say you make a nice profit from the last year’s stock market rally. You did not offer how much you lost in the prior crash. Full disclosure would be appreciated.
Huh? I wasn’t trading stocks last year.
