- You think it’s going to pop and you want to make a quick capital gain. Buy the paper. Specifically, an ETF. If you have large huevos then but a 2 beta or 3 beta ETF, and if you have DJT sized gonads than buy options or futures. Remember short term capital gain taxes are nearly double (for most people) than the taxes on long term capital gains. To qualify for LTCG you need to hold for a year. If you’re going to be speculating short-term, best to do it in an IRA so you don’t have to think about taxes.
- You think it’s a good investment long term, or you think it would be valuable to own physical in case of economic Armageddon, then buy the physical, but be aware if you buy a lot of it then you have to store it and protect and if you do not end up using it to barter in a post-apocalyptic scenario, then you will have to sell it to someone in the future. The brokers make a spread when you buy and when you sell, and those will impact your returns. Also be aware of “opportunity cost”, or how much more money you would have made owning a business (stocks) or real estate. Both stocks and RE have historically created large amounts of wealth for people. Now I know, because I am also an anon, that the world may be about to be completely different, and NESARA/GESARA etc, but “the plan” cannot possibly include ruining ownership of businesses and real estate unless the government wants everyone to be bankrupt and dependent on them, which is kind of the opposite of what they are trying to achieve. IMO the new world will still reward stockholders and real estate owners, and if all your wealth was tied up in an investment that doesn’t grow or produce income, years from now you may look back with investment opportunity costs, and regret.
- Trying to break the banks/economy? Good luck with that, you are up against a rigged system backed by trillions of capital and experienced sheisters. Point is, know what you are trying to achieve, be realistic, and be careful. Best wishes for you all in whatever you decide to do with your hard-earned money.
