I live in Ireland and i want to buy some gold, i dont really want to go online for it so where can i buy it have it physically ordered? a bank? a jewellers? also i live in a small town, i wanna invest in gold, but i cant cut a piece of gold off every time i want to buy food, yeah i have money to get by with and i understand the value of gold as protection from economic collapse but what good is a chunk of shinny metal when i have all this cash, how do i break change on a half ounce of gold u know, its not practical. i invest 2200euro in 2ounces of gold what returns can i expect, realistically 200/300 an ounce thats terrible return on investment, why should i invest gold
You talk alot of sense Azral, inflation is going to go through the roof, Gold is heading for +2K an ounce i want the security and to make a some profit, gold will never bubble its the measure of all worth in this world, sadly. im just worried about being stuck with it like i see these people trying to sell their silver after getting caught up in that rush. i know 2200 isnt much, i meant to put 2500, but its enough
also the other guy who said if you buy gold with this fiat currency when it goes belly up you can trade it in for the next money thus preserving you wealth, this is another reason why im intrested.
