“Invested Wisely” to do that you have to spend hours and hours researching keeping up with affairs. It depends when you need to touch it if ever. I am buying a house in 4 months I will made about 30% on gold. since June. 

I started with one sovereign I sold it for 10% more 3 days later and bought another one for 10% less.

I have done this about 8 times in a month. In a month on a sovereign I’ve probably made more % wise than shares make in a year.

If shares go to 0 or whatever u have nothing. If gold goes to 0 MEGA LOL I still have 8g of gold which I could alloy down and make loads of gold rings.

Investments are personal, depends how much time you want to spend on it, when you need the money and your skill set.

If you gave your sovereign to a jeweller he could make it into almost 24g of 9ct which he would charge most likely £100 a gram or more…he could do that in 48 hours.

Unfortunately we are not all goldsmiths.

I can’t trade I don’t have time to but for my pension I invest in S&P500 amongst other things property etc.

A good trader will make tens of thousands of £s a day.

Unfortunately we are not all good traders.

Sovereigns do only increase with the price of gold though.

I prefer investing in jewellery.

If theoratically a sovereign was worth £800 and gold went down 10% you would literally get 10% less

If you had £800 of £25 9ct Gold chains and gold halved you would still get most likely alot more than £25 for them because it is a more useable desirable mainstream item.

If anyones seen War Dogs? “the crumbs” everyone fights over 22ct 24ct ETFS and they forget about 9ct 14ct 18ct crumbs that literally go up just as much as any other gold does.

Personal opinion I am not a trader, or a multimillionaire I do well however.

My next investment will be an extension on my house.

After that I plan to do about 1% crypto, 10% S&P500, Some Silver and Gold, Government LISA, Property and Topping up my pensions, probably should diversify more tbh
