You've read a million articles about why you should buy gold...
And you've read a million others about why you shouldn't.
But today I'm going to tell you why I think you should buy gold for your children.
First, let me be clear: I'm just talking about physical gold bullion. I'm not suggesting you get your kids into gold stocks or any other "gold-backed" asset; I'm only talking about physical gold coins and bars. Let me explain...
In the ever-evolving world of online trading and digital assets, physical gold is at a disadvantage in terms of liquidity.
Physical gold possesses inherent liquidity, as it can be bought and sold in various forms, and its value is recognized globally.
However, relative to stocks, bonds, forex, and other financial instruments traded digitally these days, physical gold bullion is actually quite illiquid.
Most financial instruments can be traded instantaneously with a few clicks. Physical gold (or any physical bullion) needs to be physically transferred for a transaction to be complete. That might mean physically taking bullion somewhere yourself to exchange for cash or shipping it out. Either way, completing a physical bullion transfer generally requires much more effort than just a few taps on a keyboard.
