Gold as an investment

Gold is money that people have been using to trade and save for thousands of years. People can invest in gold just like they invest in stocks or other things. When you invest in gold, it means that you are buying gold bars, coins, or other forms of gold, and expecting the value of the gold to go up over time. If the value of gold goes up, then you can sell it for more money than you paid for it and make a profit. So investing in gold is a way to make money.
