Gold Is More Than a Line on a Screen

Whenever gold prices rise sharply, investors quickly turn their attention back to the precious metal. Media coverage increases, analyses multiply, and demand surges. Conversely, when prices pull back—even modestly—the same questions arise: Is it time to sell? Should I have bought earlier? Is the rally over? In our latest article, we revisit the fundamentals of investing in physical gold and explore the key difference between owning a tangible asset and simply watching a price chart.

Aix-les-Bains Coin Show – June 28, 2026

CGB will be attending the 39th Aix-les-Bains Coin Fair, organized by the Aix-les-Bains Numismatic Club. We look forward to discussing your collections and numismatic projects with you.
