I also have gold, but as 750 jewelry 😊 I think gold is beautiful, I always have it with me and it keeps its value

Just a side question: since the pure gold price doesn't fit for certain products - in my case Krugerrands - how do you manage your holdings here? I have the problem that I can "buy" it as a transaction, but then I always have to maintain the purchase price or the current value manually. Which also means that I can probably only have one position (e.g. Krugerrand 1/2 oz.), which I would then have to add up - otherwise I would have to maintain the current value for n entries... I hope I have been able to formulate this clearly...

I can recommend the Philoro or Xetra-Gold savings plan :)

@derteufel And? I started buying gold (physically) in 2011, i.e. at the ATH at the time (and kept buying more). I sold everything at 2,300 and made a profit of around 70 percent. It certainly wasn't a huge hit, but I think it was a good return for a rock-solid, conservative investment.

@Charmin Yes, if you pursue a very conservative strategy, that's ok. Returns are just very poor. I see more opportunities and security in a broad-based, long-term ETF. Gold falls in "crises" just like everything else.

@derteufel I think 70 percent in 12 years is anything but bad for the conservative part of a portfolio. I wasn't 100 percent in precious metals.

And gold tends not to fall in crises, but to rise. Gold is at its weakest when the economy is booming and the global situation is stable.

If I take the chart of gold and any index, gold falls in value in the same way. Look at ditcom, the financial crisis, corona, to name just the most recent events. But you can also take the Korean War or Iraq. It doesn't matter at all. The money you have/had in gold would certainly have yielded more if it had been invested in a good ETF, for example.
But note: I don't want to demonize the "commodity view". Everyone has their own strategy and that's fine. It's all good :-)

@derteufel The Ath argument means that you never get in on winners, you only get in on companies/sectors/commodities/crypto that are going down. The downturn usually has a reason, and so does the Ath.

I have a precious metal savings plan. Up to 200 € / month, the savings plan is cheaper than buying physical. Small bars are also relatively more expensive than large bars. With the savings plan, you buy a share of a 10 kg bar, which is then booked to the precious metal deposit. The bars themselves are stored in a high-security vault at the Landesbank.

I currently hold a maximum of 15% of my assets in precious metals

@sasteron I always pay the same gold price for my bars, whether it's 10g or 1000g, the gram costs me the same.

A little gold and silver doesn't hurt - but for me only physical! It looks great and doesn't lose any value! Plus *conspiracy theory* you can always pay with it 👍🏻
I overweighted it for a while but later bought a kitchen with some of it (€8,000 stake and €10,000 proceeds). Can live with it quite well. The rest is enough for emergencies

I have a savings plan with Degussa. You can have saved gold physically paid out if you want.
