By Robb M. Stewart The Royal Canadian Mint expects to beats its own financial targets for 2023 after a stronger-than-expected performance in the second.
Gold and Bitcoin have been hot commodities of late.
While the former asset is worthy of holding as a part of a diversified portfolio, the latter I wouldn’t personally touch with a barge pole. Warren Buffett and his right-hand man Charlie Munger have nothing great to say about the speculative cryptocurrency. And I think Foolish investors should follow in their footsteps by enjoying Bitcoin’s latest rally past the US$23,000 mark safely and comfortably from the sidelines.
While there’s no telling when Bitcoin’s next collapse will be, I’m certainly not a fan of playing the game of greater fools (that’s based on the Greater Fool theory, not us here at The Motley Fool!), which typically tends to start with euphoria, only to end in tears, as those late to take profits are left holding the bag.
