I wish I could bring myself to post the #1 reason NOT to invest in gold. But can’t do it. Too many delusional people who deserve the most probable outcome. Totally oblivious to the ‘careful what you wish for’ thingie.
Gold confiscation or huge huge taxes on buying and selling it. Plus thieves homing in on your house for an invasion to take your gold. In a chaos situation if you buy or sell gold thieves will trail you from the gold exchange and invade your house
