Buying gold bars is considered by many investors the puirst way to own something of true ‘physical’ value - something that remains a constant in uncertain finacial markets - even though it does not provide any direct income or interest.

If possible it’s worth investing at least 10% of your investible portfolio in gold. This provides stability and protection against inflation.

One good aspect about owning physical gold is that you can always turn your gold into an ornament and get some use out of it what ever happens!
