Investing in gold is seen by many as an alternative to a regular bank deposit. Entire states are constantly increasing their gold reserves. Ordinary people can also do this by purchasing gold jewelry. This type of investment is the fourth most popular after buying property, opening a bank account, and holding cash. The growing interest in jewelry and rare stones is typical of unstable periods in the economy. Since I prefer jewelry made of silver and rough gemstones, I don't have much gold compared to my friend. She is obsessed with everything that is made of this metal. As for me, it already looks like a disease, but at the same time, she has a good capital that can help at any time.
