Gold may continue to rise for some time.. But there is no income factor in gold. If you buy a share, you get dividends. If you buy a house you collect rent..And inflation slowly erodes the buying power of your gold, while improving conditions see the value fall. Frankly right now you would be better off buying 6 months to a year worth of staple food and groceries as their prices will rise in that year. It cant hurt to have a years worth of rice, canned good and toilet paper..😷
