Gold seems to be the most stable financial investment nowadays. This is reflected by the large number of people that wants to transfer their money in something more tangible. The value of gold is even expected to rise, something that cannot be said of most of the (bank) shares.
Gold comes in different shapes and weights, but for coins for example there are only buyers, no sellers. Investing in exchange-traded funds or buying stocks in gold mining companies may go coupled with transaction fees and a bigger risk of volatility. Storing gold at home is an option but mind a risen insurance cost.
Jewellery is a less interesting investment because of the extra cost of craftsmanship and the inferior quality of the shiny metal.
