I want borrow money from the bank to buy gold is it the best way to do that during world recession?
                     
 




Derek (Steelers, SB champs)
I agree. Just save it. Gold is not a liquid asset.

Have you seen the gold chart recently; trend, trend, trend.

i would not do it if i were you.
the gold is now 700++ the highest is 1000++(ridiculously high, too overbought),.
how long do you want to hold the position for gold?

assuming you have a long period of 5-10 years even 15 is the best.(which is the most recommended).

if gold hits 1400, you will only double your $$.

why not go for cheap stocks like citigroup(and of course many more) which is now trading below $4.00?
the highest for citigroup was more than $50.

conservatively speaking, which one makes sense for you?
for gold to go from 700 to 1400 or citigroup to go from 3 to 7(or even more?

the choice is yours.

investing is a game of probablity.
you will have to calculate your risk/reward ratio and percentage of win.

i am not god and could not predict the future.
gold might hit 2100, i dont know.
but i think that the probablity is very very low in these coming 5 yrs.

many people will not agree if you are lending $$ to do investing.
if you want to be aggresive, it is ok but you have to be 200% careful.
you will have a loan to feed every month regardless of you win/lose.

And one last thing, the investment you are in must outbid the bank interest rate since you are leveraging on the bank.
so, if the bank charge you 15% p.a., you will have to make at least that amount to break even

good luck

I believe you definitely should not take out a loan to buy gold. You will need to constantly repay the principle on that loan as well as interest. Most likely those payments will be much higher than any return that you get from gold. Save your money. If you want to take out a loan to invest in something consider starting your own business, purchasing investment real estate, or even stocks (though I don't recommend that). The return on any of those will most likely be much greater than gold.

personally i think that you should just save your money. If a recession happens no one is going to have money to buy gold. You should save your money incase of an emergency. What if one day your car breaks down or something like that happens- you will have money on the side instead of having gold.

Hope my advices helps you.

Go Turkey, there is %20 interest rate in banks (per year). This is great income. (By the way, inflation is %11)

No... you'll end up paying back more money to the bank than you originally took out, and if the price of gold crashes while still paying off the loan, you'll be up a creak without a paddle.

Now's more a time to be a stockmarket vulture..... buy up companies while they're down & dying....... but still kicking & big enough to bounce back in the future ( 5 - 20yrs).

Borrowing money to buy a commodity is the worst decision you could possibly make
