Does it still make sense to buy gold?
The price of gold began to rise, and it is almost impossible to buy in physical form (as of March 24, 2020). Apparently, I would wait 4 weeks for delivery in Goldenmark, but I don't know if I can trust them. Does it still make sense to hunt for precious metals, or is it better to let go of the topic?

In my opinion, if someone has nothing physical gold, it is better to "hunt" it than to have nothing, because it is always an additional security for some property. On the other hand, if someone already has physical gold, the search now seems pointless to me, because the current price is already relatively high and the effort that will probably have to be put into finding it - considerable. By the way, I was buying gold at GoldenMark (also with delayed pickup) and everything was fine.

Of course it's worth it :) From what I know, you can only buy that the delivery takes over a month.
Gold has always been and will be a good investment, especially in the midst of the crisis we are currently experiencing.
Alternatively, you can invest in Bitcoin, which is, after all, "digital gold". You will not have to wait that long, and you will also secure your funds :) Except that with the investment in Bitcoin I would wait for some price rebound, because it seems to me that bitcoin is currently at the top.

It all depends on what investments you are asking Piotr, if you want to have gold deposited as a metal, you can buy "gold bars" in Polish, in reputable stores with certificates and guarantees and even in the mint. There are plenty of scammers and impure gold in the metal market, so unreliable sources should be avoided. If, however, you want to trade gold on the stock exchange and earn money on the exchange rates, I present the best online brokers because one of the first steps you need to take is the decision to choose a broker.
For this you need to consider: 1. The type of gold trading markets supported - such as ETFs, futures, options or CFDs. 2. minimum required deposit and any subsequent transaction fees 3. Commissions charged when trading in your preferred gold market 4. Does the platform offer any noteworthy gold trading tools - such as technical analysis, leverage and most importantly short selling.
Best online gold trading platforms right now: 1. eToro recognized as the best in the world: highly regulated by institutions and laws, super low trading commissions, no US dollar deposit fees, Debit/Credit card deposit, e- wallet or bank transfer, has transaction copying tools and is ideal for beginners. 2. Webull 0% commission. No deposit required, trade stocks and ETFs from $5, the right portal for both novice and experienced traders standard self-managed accounts 4. TD Ameritrade here trade gold with futures, gold options and ETFs are also supported. they have quite competitive margin funding rates. 5. Interactive Brokers - They have a high reputation on spot contracts.
Piotr, I recommend buying and selling in short positions, because movements in the gold exchange rate are quite predictable, and in connection with Russia's troubles, they can mean significant swings up and down, depending on whether the Kremlin will release reserves, eg for the purchase of weapons. Pretty predictable speculation.

Jeśli mamy dlugi horyzont czasowy, to złoto w najgorszym razie przechowa nam wartość pieniądza (i głównie służy do tego, nie do zarabiania).
Osobiście robię takie zakupy w ten sposób, że dzwonię do dilera, pytam co mają dostępne od ręki i tego samego dnia lub nazajutrz idę i kupuje. Mam wtedy towar od ręki, za gotówkę, bez czekania na dostawę i anonimowo.

In my opinion, the price of gold is underestimated. In a few years, we could see $3,500 an ounce.
Besides, the last two thousand years show that gold stores its purchasing value well. Maybe you will not earn on it, but you will not lose the purchasing power of the capital invested in it - on average in the long term.

Referring to other statements regarding short-term speculation on gold through futures (both long and short positions), this is an option only for experienced investors with extensive knowledge and experience (exceeding one full business cycle, currently 7-10 years), due to the huge risk of losing the entire deposit, especially with leverage at the level of 1:10, 1:20 or higher !!!). This option is highly inadvisable for novice investors.

Please note, that this is so called unproductive asset, which means that it mostly transitions the value instead of generating cash flows.
You should also think if it's the physical gold you are looking for, or rather gold ETF (like CEF, IGLN) is the thing you should consider.
Also note, that even though the gold price in USD is lower than the top, in PLN it is closer to all time highs due to the high USD price.
If the amount of gold you are willing to buy is very high, you will most probably face the costs of storing it in a secure location.
I highly recommend reading the In Gold We Trust report https://ingoldwetrust.report/igwt/?lang=en
to find out about the current theories regarding gold - and much more about the current economy.
According to these specialists, the gold ounce may reach more than 2k USD per ounce by the end of this year.
