If you're going to invest a small amount in gold, you might as well just put it in government bonds or a bank account instead. Non-existent risk means minimal potential for profit.

and you actually believe the dollar will lose all its value? are you retarded? do you not realize that 80% of currency transactions are made with dollars?

Are you completely new to investment or have you already got a portfolio? Because there's a shitload of choice. What you choose depends on several factors: how risk-averse you are, how much return you're hoping to make, how long-term the investment is, how easily and quickly it can be liquidated, how globalised you want the portfolio to be... et fucking cetera. Where do you fall in relation to those factors?

>gold / sliver
don't make money, but good for fighting inflation, the value will always be worth something (assuming physical)

>bonds
if you got 1-10 years this might be up your ally, basically your giving a loan to a company or government and they have to pay that loan back with interest. (while most of the time secure; but not as secure as gold, the interest rate at this time is low as hell so little money to be made, also in general the higher the interest rate the riskier the bond is)

>Stocks
if it doesn't pay a dividend don't bother

>bank
while backed with the government (if you live in USA backed to $100k) country is generally a save investment, however if you really wanna make money get a IRA, the money you put into this will grow using the power of compound interest, BAM you can easily get ($162,000) retirement plan with a shitty minimum wage job (if you want more you will deposit more over time

Gold in itself isn't an investment. Some people view it as a commodity, others as a currency. The reason people buy gold is to hedge out risk in their other investments. It's difficult to predict how it will perform as it is a somewhat arbitrary thing to place so much human value on.

Don't day trade unless or do anything like what happened again unless you really feel like you've learned your shit and you've made plenty of money in some kind of simulator so in other words pretty much dont' day trade.

Do as much of your investing as you can in a 401k or IRA. You can open and fund an IRA yourself. This will give you tax advantages which is a no brainer, but you can't touch it until retirement.

Try out dollar cost averaging. Do not buy stocks on a high. You can't time out a low always, so you can dollar cost average by buying a fixed amount of stock every paycheck or every month or something. You'll be buying stock on a high and on a low and in the long run you will get the average value of the stock which means you'll be enjoying the productive gains of the company rather than speculating on stock value.

Try to avoid individual stocks. You want diversification. You can buy a mutal fund or ETF, an example is ticker symbol SPY which gives you a basket of 500 great stocks. With funds like this, watch the expense ratio. The expense ratio on SPY is like 0.5% (half a percent) A lot of mutual funds are ripoffs with high expenses. If someone tries to sell you a mutual fund they're going to get a commission on it so don't buy it.

Take a look at international growth funds if you're a young man.

Vanguard is a great company, you can open an IRA with them, they have great mutual funds, and the expense ratios are about the lowest in the industry.

You will make money, even get rich, but it's going to take decades.
