Which metal are the best to invest on?
Question:
Answer:
Gold is the worst investment out there. You'd be better off with a CD @ 6%.
Gold has averaged 4% return on investment over the last 100 years. Inflation averages about 2-3%, so you'd make a 1% return after inflation.
Gold dealers will tell you that gold is at the highest price in 20 years, but they don't tell you that it was over $800 an ounce 25 years ago (not adjusted for inflation). If you bought gold in 1980, it would be worth half what you paid for it, not considering inflation (which makes it worth even less).
Gold cost $26 an ounce in 1820. Today, it costs a little over $300. That is a terrible track record for any investment.
Mutual funds have averaged 10-12% over the last 70 years, including the Great Depression. If the economy collapses, people won't want metals any more than they'll want stocks. They can't eat either one, so that is a false argument in favor of precious metals.
Gold
Brass. Because sadly enough, bullets are made from brass and the whole world is at war right now
I don't know. Companies are begining to make diamond nowdays, maybe soon they'll make other precious metals as well.
Silver's a good, cheap precious metal. Go for the 90% silver coins (pre-1965 American) dimes and quarters.
1/10 oz gold coins are good investment, too.
