Firstly I have enjoyed browsing the posts on your site. However I’m not sure that I would agree that gold is an investment, maybe a store of value. 1. The price of gold is also very volatile.
The optimism you express in the article seems a little premature if for no other reason that so far the overall economic news is only less bad than previously.
