This is an investment that tends to become very popular in times of economic uncertainty and that’s why precious metals like gold and silver have been getting a lot of attention in recent years. As governments make up the rules as they go along, and continue to print money that really isn’t backed by anything of value, many people feel that investing in something “real” like gold is a safe. The price of precious metals fluctuates based on many things and it can be risky, but it is usually a long-term strategy. It’s extremely unlikely that we’ll ever see a time when precious metals are worthless. Gold, silver and other precious metals have been used as currency for thousands of years and they are quite likely to be considered valuable far into the future.
