Congrats. I went all in. We’re both pretty happy. Why?
Because I got considerably more dollars out of the transaction than I would have had I held the original dollar amount in a savings account or even stocks.
As for you, I can only guess. I don’t know whether you still hold it or not. Equating the price of gold to various items as if gold consistently tracks inflation is a statement typically made by people who are a little too attached, so I’m going to assume you haven’t sold. You’ve lost 25% from peak.
