It can be bought in portions and gradually accumulated for the long term. Earlier, experts had already said that gold and bitcoin have a lot in common.

Prospects for gold

If Joe Biden becomes the president of the United States, he will devote all his efforts to overcome the coronavirus and its consequences. This, in turn, will have a significant impact on the US and Canadian economies.

Analysts warn of strong volatility and uncertainty in financial markets. Biden intends to raise taxes for both companies and individuals. Therefore, experts advise diversifying your investment portfolio correctly. For example, to have 60% of shares and 40% of securities, which may give a guaranteed interest income.

Analysts also argue that part of the capital should be in alternative assets, such as gold. This precious metal is a reliable means of protection against various adverse scenarios in the financial markets. Moreover, the US dollar and the British pound are depreciating, so it is very important to have gold reserves in your portfolio.
