About the investment varieties of gold are:

1. Bank's "paper gold" (SDR);

2. AUt+d (deferred trading of spot gold) of Shanghai Gold Exchange;

3. Domestic private transactions (spot precious metal transactions, relying on self-discipline);

4. Foreign exchange market supervised by financial institutions (spot external market, relying on self-discipline and supervision, that is, London gold trading in a broad sense);

5. Private foreign markets (spot foreign markets depend on self-discipline);

6. Shanghai Gold Futures Exchange (Futures).

2-5 are all market makers, but their financial backgrounds are different.

The most obvious feature of market makers is the value of "harming others and benefiting themselves". Based on this kind of values, the established business model is bound to be nothing more than three means:

1. The trading product itself binds the customer's losses.

For example, t+d of Shanghai Gold Exchange and gold and silver products of Zhejiang Huilian are all "low leverage pseudo-matching" market makers.

2. Robbery by various coercive means.

For example, highly leveraged financial management and some unregulated external markets and most internal market makers.

3. Synthesize 1 and 2.

For example, the membership system of Tianjiao.

It is a long story about these three types of operating mechanisms and profit methods.

So if investors want to invest in an inflationary era to avoid risks, they can have a variety of options:

The safest thing is to buy local government bonds and corporate bonds of central enterprises (national debt will definitely not be issued during inflation). Generally, this kind of bonds issued now have an annualized rate of return of around 10% depending on the amount of funds purchased;

Secondly, you can make a bank discount deposit, which is risk-free and the income is not as high as bonds, but you can get discounted cash.

One thing to pay attention to is to pay the deposit certificate in one hand and discount it in the other;

Thirdly, you can make a relatively stable trust investment, and the annualized income is generally around 13- 14%, but the current economic situation is not good, and the risk ratio of trust to income has expanded, which is not recommended;

You can also buy physical platinum. For physical delivery, you must first specify the institution that can receive the goods, otherwise don't buy it. Platinum is generally twice the price of gold, but now it is at a historical low, even upside down with the earlier price of gold. Therefore, the supply of platinum in South Africa has increased slightly recently, but it is a relatively safe way to hedge. (The premise is that the amount of funds is large enough, and the proportion of handling fees, processing fees, transportation fees and storage fees will be relatively small, so it is unnecessary to have a small amount of funds. )

Finally, if you believe in your "technology", you might as well try your luck in foreign markets. You must identify whether it is a foreign market regulated by financial institutions. You can go to the websites of financial institutions to check the supervised units, and don't believe the stories of domestic and foreign market agents. Everything needs to be identified by yourself.
