You can't beat stocks over the long run. Gold and gold coins are just something to have as disaster insurance and/or to have fun holding in your hands. Even bond funds aren't bad right now, 6% give-or-take for investment quality ETFs.
I moved out of stocks about 5 years ago and converted that in to BTC, which is doing outstanding ! I have been able to keep the principal intact while taking the "FOAM" of the top which I have been using to buy both GOLD AND SILVER been averaging about 5K a month just on that investment alone
Putting all your eggs in 1 asset class....a new one at that....which is highly volatile and pays no interest or dividends....borders on reckless, IMO.
When it gets to be reckless I will let you know, And BTC kicks butt ! for all the doubters out there, here's a small sample of what I picked up last year, just on "FOAM" alone havent touched my principle in over 5 years and still going strong ! P.S. Can I please get a like from you @masterswimmer .....LOL
We appreciate your OPINION, but my recent experiences with internet failed transactions dictate that an additional ~$5 with your opinion will purchase a local cup of coffee. I've recently traded a strong 3 figure quantity of Gold uncirculated coins for Fiat @ spot value, with return customers who are very happy to authenticate their purchases @ our meetings, and promise future discussions! I've a large guarded private rural property proximal to metropolises' of millions potential wise? investors! Please read the following post to yours (#64?)! JMHO!
And I yours, my formula works great for me and iam stacking every month and setting up a nice nest egg for my kids and grand kids
I also have established an extraordinary collection of tangibles which my son and daughter would love to inherit, but they'll only see a token amount paid equally to them from a trust for a reasonable period. If either adult initiates a legal action, as expected, the remaining assets will be donated prematurely to St. Jude! One of my children always has an interest in vacationing, as did my only wife, and Daughter-In-Law, who spent every cent of the paid estate I left, when driving away with one attire/old-truck. I'd love to see their faces, but remember that of when they exhausted all I left, which they knew I'd re-establish from nothing! Life can really be fun, when you look back at 85 in great health!!
I learned allot when my mother in law passed away several years ago it just goes to show you how ruthless family members can be against each other my wife had 6 siblings and every one contested the will except my wife in the end the lawyers got most of the money in the end just because everyone was so selfish I think I will avoid the courts and just bury some coffee cans in the back yard with each persons name on it, seems like the most sensible thing to do...LOL
I'm a son with 3 brothers. My parents instilled a strong sense of family in each and every one of us. It was stressful liquidating my parent's estate, but not between us 4 brothers, it was the stress of unloading the real estate and personal property. There were no arguments, just a web of BS involving estate issues and dividing up tangible properties. We all trusted each other, and aside from dealing with the vultures feeding on the estate carcass (lawyers and real estate agents) , we had zero issues internally.
Very impressive, my wifes side of the family is as dysfunctional as they come, my mother in law was the glue that held everything together though I have to say after knowing her for 35 plus years, she wasn't very fair, things were far from equal as the two older sisters who were both trustees of here estate, in which I use that term in the loosest way ! they raped the estate of all valuables and left my wife with broken furniture and not much else, if you read this Patti and Joyce I hope you burn in _ _ _ _, you can insert the letters yourself since this is after all a family forum.
