When's the best time to buy gold?
The Direct Answer: The Honest Answer: No one can consistently time gold's bottom—history shows "time in the market" beats "timing the market." Someone who bought gold at the worst possible time in 2011 (peak at $1,571) was down for 5 years, but today is up over 118%. Best strategy for average savers: fixed periodic buying (monthly or quarterly amounts) regardless of price.
💡 Watch These Signals Before Big Buys: Central bank gold purchases, U.S. real interest rates (lower = gold rises), major geopolitical tensions.
