Investment is always a good thing, whether it's investing in one's own knowledge and understanding, crypto, property, metals...It's all good, as long as some research is undertaken along the way to help mitigate some of the risks.
Gold has been on a fairly nice upward curve as you can see since 1973...I wish I had some back then, but I was only three years old. The chart below is pretty clear on the strength of gold.
Silver has been less dynamic but has had it's good times. My strategy is some of both and at my age I don't have the luxury of going too long...So I'll sell it all off and use the funds at some stage...The trick is to do it when the price is good, if possible.
