Financial investment is not for the squeamish.
I wish I could have known then that stock-brokers and financial advisers are just like "the house" in a Vegas casino: They never lose.

@wolfgang59 saidGold has held its value for 5000 years.
Why on earth do you think a metal is an asset?
No man made currency has even lasted a tenth of that time.
Gold will still be treasured long after dollars, yen, pounds and euros are a foot note in some ancient economic text book.

It blew my mind when he asked it.
If he doesn't understand gold/silver as an asset at his age he never will.

Going by what I am saying on here.
How do you or anyone else know how long gold/silver will last? Can you for tell what will be in the next 100 years?

It doesn't get used up.
Silver does but they are working on better recycling.
