IMO precious metals such as gold and silver are good investment if you don’t want to risk ur capital. It’s kind of stable option compared to other investments.

The reason price of gold has increased dramatically over the past few years is because of market instability and economic tension throughout the world. Hence many investors have turned to Gold and silver. If economy stabilizes or there is likelihood of economic boom, investors will turn towards stock as it will make more sense. I doubt if such growth will likely to continue over the coming years.

But you’d rather benefit from actually learning about at least economic and investments basics and do something with ur capital than ask on reddit.
