Normally I wouldn't say anything about this as I'm pressed for time now, but I had to post the following:
price per oz. as of Mar. 18th, 2233hrs. Up just over 4% in a week's time
price of gold over a five-year period, as of now
Been waiting for this for months. Finally it's happening... Thank you Mr. Trump, for your flip-flopping with your tariff foolishness.
This is a real-life example: Though conventional assets are great for investment, you don't want to put every dollar you have into them exclusively. This, ladies & gentlemen, is why you should hold precious metals.
The investors mentioned in the article, however, are late to the party.
I would post a sexy animated GIF in celebration, but NG's blogging platform apparently doesn't work with 'em.

DCA investing is the most effective when the market declines. I will just keep putting money in stocks.

I will too in a few days... Still, I'd feel more encouraged if the markets just _dipped_ instead of dithering the way they have been for the last few weeks. Also, the price of gold has risen a solid 93.78% in the last five years alone. That's nothing to sneeze at.
