Q:
Yes, gold investment, as well as other investment, has risks. Including the risk of loss, because the gold price is volatile. Can go up, it could also go down. If we buy gold when the price is rising, and we sell when the price is down, yes it's called a loss.
One of the advantages is the price of gold tends to rise, despite volatile. In general, the increase in the gold price is usually between 10% to 20% per year for the long term.
Another plus, gold is highly liquid. If we need money, just sell the gold, then immediately we have the money. Even gold can also be mortgaged. But if mortgaged, do not forget that the lien was a cost.
Gold deposit safest place is in the Save Deposit Box at the bank. But if there are not too many, then please keep it in a safe deposit box in your home, or store that you think are the safest in the house.
