Andy Schectman: US headed for recession, gold is wealth not an investment added by Herman James on

Schectman tells us that “gold is wealth not an investment”.How can anything that you invest your funds in not be an investment?
If you suddenly find that you need to sell your gold (or silver), you will be getting the price that is determined by more by COMEX than by precious metal dealers. If you bought a bunch of silver in early may, you will find that the COMEX price — and corresponding dealer price — has dropped more than 10%.
Yes, I am frustrated, as you can tell by my occasional posts that say about the same thing — silver is still more than 50% less in nominal value than its highs in the 1980s, and if you figure in the real costs of inflation, it is way less. And the reason is that the markets are rigged by the Central Banks in collusion with the government.
So, caveat emptor, to all those who decide to put a lot of money in precious metals.
