Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
Both investing and saving is important in my point of view. Saving is useful in handling unexpected situation,like emergency fund. whereas Investing is a great source to make extra money. You just need to set a goal if long term or short term.
I guess when you were talking about investment risks you actually meant profitability, since by no means investments in land can be less risky than investments in gold. If so, you still need a lot of expertise and experience in the field which is incomparable with buying some gold from a reliable source and forgetting about it.
