So investing in gold is a bit of a political/reality check. It's value/risk for investing us based on your pessimism and optimism in how global situation moves forward. Trumps in office for 3 yrs max. Do the math. I would buy gold now but understand it's not a hold for retirement indefinitely. It's going to rise in waves so the idea is to sell that sucker at its height which I think 1-2 yrs. If you are holding a lot of it from buying decades ago, sell later this yr or next for sure to see your investment.
I think it'll go up to $8k or so. How long it stays there is the prob.
Then if you buy now, understand it will likely be a very very long term hold. So gold for the short term is def right.
So, it makes sense in a tax-deferred account, not a taxable account that could result in significant capital gains if you need to sell a year or two from now when it either stagnates or deflates.
