Countering inflation – with gold

According to a survey, seven out of ten Germans no longer have enough money. In 2020, 70 percent of citizens in this country were still saving, but high energy and food prices have changed that. Today, only one in two manages to save. According to pawnshops, customers are multiplying, with usually only a few hundred euros needed because there is not enough money left towards the end of the month. Incidentally, around 90 percent of pawned items are collected again. For short financial bottlenecks, going to a pawnbroker is a simple remedy. Of course, it would be better not to have to make use of this.

If you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to visit a pawnshop and you’re thinking about investments, gold’s long-term stability of value and security speak for themselves. And the price of gold often moves in the opposite direction to that of shares. Thus, gold can provide for fewer fluctuations in the portfolio. Over the long term, however, equities have on average increased in value more than physical gold. On the one hand, equities are very liquid, and they can generate value growth and good returns for investors. Gold mining companies especially benefit from rising gold prices. And the price of the precious metal has risen steadily, if you look back to 2002, for example, when the euro arrived.

At that time, a fine ounce of gold cost a good 308 euros; today, around 1,872 euros have to be paid for an ounce. This corresponds to an increase of around 453 percent. When selecting well-positioned gold companies, one should also take a look at Caledonia Mining or OceanaGold, two gold producers.

OceanaGold – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oze6D75ON4U – owns gold projects in the U.S., Philippines and New Zealand and is working to increase gold production.

Caledonia Mining – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyTMK45zhbA – has the acceptance of local investors due to their involvement in the Blanket mine, and thus has been producing successfully for years in the otherwise not so easy Zimbabwe.
