Gold is at an all time high right now. I'd wait for it to dip. It's bound to happen, just like it did from around 2014-2018. Took almost 6 years to recover from its previous high in 2013. You buy now, you could be waiting 6 years just to break even. Why do you think they're trying to sell these now?

Do gold bugs prefer these little bars to coins? I don't own any gold but wouldn't mind buying something shiny to own.

You prob see most of the boomer prefer coins, just something they are used to I suppose, we are all creature of habits , some people just collect a variety of it, some just buy the ones they like, some just buy when others are buying or say to buy…

Quote from DonWonJohnson :
How so? Looks like it returns 2 or 3% a year for 10 years. Banks have paid that or above for the last 6 years. You literally do better with a savings account. But yes, I own gold and silver also.
First off good for you I owning gold. I'm sure You chose to diversify yourself which is great. My non professional opinion is to think about gold more like a property , instead of an investment , to store the value and hedge against the loss of purchasing power from the dollars because the Fed "print" more and more just out of thin air. Just for discussion sake let's say saving accounts pay about 5% with inflation hovering around 3%, so that is really an effective rate of 2%, so my $2000 is a year later effective $2040 assuming rate doesn't change, and mid 2021 when inflation was 6-7%, saving rate was like less than 1%? So my 2000 dollars saved just became less, you get it.. But sure during that time gold has ups and downs but overall appreciated, so who knows what is next or best, it is better off not having all the eggs in one basket wouldn't you say?

They sell this because supplies and demands, same as the reasons they sell gas and toilet paper, because there are perceived value to it.

Quote from balakrishna.d1990 :
You forgot to breakdown the numbers for gold against inflation. I wonder why. Because you know it will look bad? Coz its not much different than cash you said Fed prints at will? What does that say? Gold isn't really practically finite. There's a whole lot of it. Its production is just controlled by corporate cartels and has been one of the worst investments in the name of "diversification". We just buy it coz out of old habit, collectively we believe it will hold some value, i e, a store of value which is exactly the case with Bitcoin. The difference is Bitcoin is actually finite. We know exactly how much max there is and at what rate it is generated.
First of all congrats if you invest in bitcoin. Sure let's say someone put $100 bill in the safe and so is $100 worth of gold about 100 years ago( roughly about $20/oz around 1924 so that is 5oz), so I open the safe today, the $100 bill is still $100 assuming it has not decay yet, 5oz gold is a bit over $10000. And according to the US inflation calculator. com, that $100 back in 1924 is equivalent to $1800 purchasing power today give or take.

HONESTLY the only reason Costco is selling it is because someone is making money off this.

Sure, buy and hold under your mattress though. Good luck.

Nobody is buying this for investment purposes. They are buying to flip the same week while getting 4% back on Costco rewards. It's free money to spend on guitars and stuff we don't need on SD.
