uh, well actually quite a lot of other things are considered valuable and precious
ive considered investing in gold. my local bank has a ton of 2oz gold bars for like $2500 each and you can just walk in and buy them to your hearts content. it'd probably be a good idea to hold on to like a kilo of gold. it probably wont gain much value in your lifetime but im sure you could just pass it on to your next of kin and in like 500 years it'll probably be worth like $200,000
gold is a bad investment. the value never fluctuates too much and has remained generally consistent for about 100 years
also any value increases generally match the inflation rate so its not like the increased dollar amount will actually mean anything
bonds are a better investment than gold, but the best is mutual funds (in my opinion). you just gotta really do your homework on what you're investing in.
what happens once NASA uses all the gold in the world?
Blanket statements like this show you know very little about wealth management. 'Better investments' depend entirely on the investors portfolio. Asset allocation is important to manage risk and that completely undermines the idea that one investment vehicle can be objectively better than another (or that there can be a 'best' type of investment)
i'm probably wrong
uh nothing because that's not gonna happen even remotely
Yea rather disappointingly there's such a tiny amount used in individual electronics it's not really worth salvaging for an individualunless someone tells me I'm dead wrong in which case I'll be glad I've been hording circuit boards
