Economy New Trend: Argentinians' Savings Alternative - Gold

Savers see gold as a solid way to invest big sums of money because of its key features: stability and steady increases over the years. Plus, recently, gold hit one of its highest points in terms of historical value. So it’s a really good option.
 
The USA is spending more than it is taking in so the plight of the US dollar isn't looking good. I have been here a while and I've never seen any of my friends buy gold but I know there are probably some out there that might.
 
It seems that these types of investments have been happening for a few months now. Obviously, only those with a substantial amount of money can participate, unlike the dollar, which is accessible to everyone from a laborer to a business owner.

 
The dollar has been one of the worst investments of 2024, as it's been far outperformed by several other investment options. Caputo’s goal of discouraging savings in dollars is coming true.

 
Argentina is not a great place to sell gold. Easy to buy it but if you have to liquidate it and sell I have friends that told me they got less than spot prices. So buyer beware depending on what your stated goal is.
