personally the advice I follow is to buy actual metals like gold and silver (not invest in those, but physical authenticated metals). I can't guarantee it will gain or maintain value in the future, but i'd rather have a constant than an unknown loss. Anything else I put into S&P500 and forget it existed in the first place

isn't this contradictory? these values fluctuate and someone could come along with a sorcerer's stone and render all gold valueless


The risk of it getting stolen is too high for it to be attractive as an opion, IMHO.


Yeah until you need to move a significant amount of it, it gets heavy. My friend's dad does this but they don't ever plan to move. I think they also have it hidden around the home. Oh, also don't get robbed.
