Providing for old age, also with shares

Pension gaps need to be closed. The majority of Germans believe that more state support for private pension provision would be desirable. At 56.1 percent, men would prefer state-subsidized stock savings, while only 35 percent of the women surveyed would. The survey was conducted by the German Institute for Capital Formation and Old Age Security. Individual responsibility is called for, because a sufficient state pension is hardly to be expected.

But in view of inflation, negative interest rates and penalty interest on bank accounts, private provisioning is not so easy. After all, bank balances are currently losing around four percent of their value. According to the survey, more than 94 percent consider a performance guarantee and 83 percent high returns to be important. High security and high returns at the same time are desirable, but not easy to achieve. Hopefully, the new government will address the issue of equity-based pensions. A good hedge against loss of value is gold, as people have been trading in it since 5,000 BC.

In the first half of 2021, more than 90 tonnes of gold went over the counter in Germany. In the same period, only the Chinese bought more gold. In the longer term, gold shares should also become increasingly popular. Here it is important to select the right promising companies. Among the companies already producing, OceanaGold and Caledonia Mining shine.

OceanaGold – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtFuwcmAl9E – expects to produce up to 380,000 ounces of gold next year. Its operations are in New Zealand, the Philippines and the US.

In Zimbabwe, Caledonia Mining – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi0GmtOrxLM – has delivered another record quarter with production of almost 19,000 ounces of gold. The Blanket gold mine is responsible for this.
