Don't ever buy diamonds with the intention of being able to resell them for a profit. That game is rigged.

That's one of the reasons it's near the bottom of the list. But remember how well they worked for the Jews in Germany just before WWII. Small, easily concealed, world wide liquid market, easily exchanged for any local currency, and non metallic. Another reason for being near the bottom is that you really gotta know what you're doing if you buy diamonds, it's not a game for amatuers.

Plus, the creation of synthetic diamonds is soon going to make the bottom fall out. DeBeers is crapping their pants.
