My view on gold


Recommended Posts

Uganda just uncovered more gold than ever pulled out of the earth sitting in their back yard, 12 trillion $ worth 320,000 tonnes...

Gov only gets about 700m$ (private enterprises get the rest), but that won't do your gold investments any good.

Over a period of 10 years I have bought 10 baht gold for my GF. She has every ounce of them. The last time I bought it was 24K and now I think 30K up. I told her I won't buy any more and she should pass the gold to my daughter when she wishes.

You would have been better off investing in a chicken.

 

Gold is a safe asset, a reserve and will never hit zero or be outdated in our lifetime.

There are quite a few gold miners which process orebodies that assay at 5 GRAMS/tonne of gold. Profitably.

According to the article, the orebody in Uganda is assaying out at 10 KILOGRAMS/tonne of gold. Such an orebody is unprecedented in the history of gold mining.

Either someone has misplaced a few zeros in the estimation and/or the value, or the article is total BS. I suspect the latter, perhaps along the lines of rich Nigerian princes that want to me to retrieve money for them.

I don't regard it as an investment, it's a currency hedge.

Having never made a loss buying and selling gold for nearly 40 years, I think I can safely ignore your statement.

This is something you could google yourself,

but be aware you will find government statistical

figures based on a basket of goods, which will contain

something like carrots, turnips, milk, and perhaps, rhubarb.

This is how they falsify inflation figures.

We are living in a total illusion.

Hang on to that gold as long as you can.

And the chicken.

Shares are better. 1992 you buy a top 10 stock. Whats it worth now?

Are you talking about small bubbles or big bubbles?

If you had bought that chicken in 1992 you would have 14.000 eggs today.

For heavens sake Spark! If you would tell a youngster how much a £ was worth in 1900 or mainly  before, you would be arrested for practising "mental cruelty against children" these days.

The greatest chicken Farmer that ever lived was a guy called Warren Buffet. He only bought quality-chickens capable of producing quality eggs. (long term growth with reliable dividends).

Amen! The Gods gave us Hamburgers and Grass (wheat) and Gold. (Not necessarily in that order). The Gods never ment Gold to be a  "a get rich fast scheme". Rather as a means to perserve "buying-power"


Gold is slow by nature. Like a Tiger waiting pationly for the right time to pounce. Then the Tiger will leap foreward 5 meters. And Gold can leap upwards 1000$ in no time at all, rivalling the leap of the Tiger. Making up for his period of observant "dormancy".


Only keeping pace with the devaluation of paper currencies. Nothing magic. Actually quite boring an predictable. Not a get rich scheme.
