Is gold really worth it to buy ? In terms of the short term considering taxes and overall cost of upfront purchase then trying to resell when I actually need the liquidity, is physical or gold stocks more worth the cost ? Because it seems to be when people speak of gold their not being specific to the short term or Long term approach to justifying the purchase. Let me know your thoughts , thanks anyone

Only worth it for your long long term investment, short term a guaranteed loss. It's all manipulated and so is Mike bias on gold because that's his business. Always keep that in perspective.

@hasede-lg9hj21 күн бұрын
Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.

If I had canines like you Pauly I would tell everyone my grandfather was a vampire lol! At the very least I would audition for vampire movie roles knowing I had a real advantage! 😂 Great videos, keep up the good work

Gold was used to make old red glass, which seems to me that garnet comes from a process from gold since the colors are similar

Why does sand cost more in Canada, I did the conversion from $12.20 CAD to USD and that’s $8.77 USD, the same bag is $7.31 at Home Depot and $4.98 at Lowes.

Everything costs more in Canada. It drives me crazy when I do the conversions from US prices and find a 25-50% extra markup on far to many of the things I buy.

By my calculation you ran way more than 1 yard of sand, I deal with measurements of soil rock and compost every day and 27 cu. ft. equals 1 yard you guys ran just over 2 yards of material. Still a nice recovery for play sand.

My bad, sand density a little different than materials I deal with but ya 54 bags would have been 1 cubic yard so you only ran 550lbs more than a yard but like I said nice gold recovery! Great video!
