I still remember a friend buying into gold Krugerrands in the 1980s just before the gold price crash of 1980 wife divorced him etc.

Gold has seen a massive runup as of late ? whether it will stay up is a good question. Buying precious metals is always speculative.

I learned many years ago that an ounce of gold was worth the price of a good men's suit ? anyone bought a men's business suit lately. LOL ...
