how much gold...

another 0%.  Toyed with the idea of a little physical gold, but in the various Armageddon scenarios I can't see an accessible and efficient market for gold remaining while everything else burns.

Another one for 'zero'

Also 0%, apart from the tiny bit held by Capital Gearing Trust. But I have thought about it because - like many other folk - I would like a magic bullet in this time of high inflation and low-returning bonds. This article suggests gold might be a good investment in times or negative interest rates (ie when rates are below inflation). This piece from Occam Investing comes down against gold (although It is not an article about whether you should buy gold now). I remain unlikely to dabble.

Gold and silver will come into their own when the currencies collapse. It's happened before and it will happen again. In the meantime, gold is a good store of value and it's price is artificially suppressed.

Silver is ridiculously cheap. The VAT on silver puts me off, but even so it is a bargain at the moment for anyone who wanted it.

Explain please - suppressed how? And is there any reason its price will not continue to be suppressed - or will be further suppressed?

Google "spoofing" for a start.

Stupid me. For a moment I thought you might not be taking us down another conspiracy rabbit hole.

Not at all.  Price suppression of precious metals is all over the MSM.
