China Has Divested 97 Percent of Its Holdings in U.S. Treasury Bills

I once gave my wife a silver ingot.

It was pretty, not very big.

If she still has it she could cash it in right now , perhaps she should.

But She is now my EX so I have no real intrest in that investment .

There is more than one way to loose an investment.

You have hit on a great truth.

Silver and gold ingots,  jewelry and coins are more likely to be lost simply because they are physical assets, and not stored in a safe deposit box. Of course, the safe deposit box costs money as well.
