I have a platinum engagement ring.
But other than that, I have no, I have no metals to my name.
I guess you could say this, my, my dad bought gold many, many years ago, probably in the 1970s and held it.
You know, he said, I always want some percentage of my assets gold.
It was not a very good investment, but when it reached a little over 4,000, maybe the last period, I convinced mom to sell that, that gold that dad had put aside.
It wasn't a huge amount of money, but I guess you could say I was not that.
I'd rather own businesses that can compound value than gold.
But I like jewelry.
I don't really have a view.
I don't know whether gold is going up or down.
I don't think of it as a great investment asset, even though it's done actually quite well.
It's just not my thing.
The problem is it's an asset that's only worth what people tell you they're prepared to pay for.
And it doesn't pay you any
yield in the meantime whereas every other asset that i invest in is one that generates some form of of yield it generates earnings or pays a dividend or it's rent from a building whereas gold is just as i viewed as a speculative asset so i don't find it i don't think it's an investment i think it's a speculation okay i like it so you don't pay attention to silver or copper or anything i sort of i'm aware of it but you know copper
even gold are inputs to various industrial processes that affect the cost of things.
So I'm aware, but it's not something I'm betting on.
Now, if we were investing in a company where the cost of metal was an important input, I would be spending more time worrying about it.
You know, I don't own any Bitcoin.
None?
