Financial education also includes knowledge about investment opportunities
A recent study by Union Investment shows that financial literacy in Germany is not looking good.
(PresseBox) - The experts give financial knowledge in Germany a school grade of four. Areas of knowledge such as investing money or providing for old age are important in times of demographic change. A study with the same content was carried out back in 2017. Unfortunately, financial knowledge has tended to deteriorate since then. However, financial knowledge is particularly important for younger people. This is despite the fact that 65% of the population and 89% of experts would like to have more knowledge, particularly in the area of retirement provision. When it comes to investing with shares, the figures are 40 and 67 percent respectively. A separate school subject on financial literacy would be helpful. In 2022, more than 101 billion euros were bequeathed or given away in Germany. But whether the assets are small or large, investing money does not seem to be easy.
There is the area of commodities, especially gold and silver, with which profits can be made over the years. Whether in physical form or in the form of shares etc., many things are possible. In the longer term, gold and silver investors are in a good position. If you look at the history of these precious metals, their prices have risen significantly. An ounce of silver, for example, cost USD 0.35 in 1940. In 1980, an ounce cost USD 36. Although the price of silver reached a low of 3.56 US dollars in 1993, it then went up. In 2011, the price of silver reached 48.60 US dollars per ounce. Lows and highs followed. Today, an ounce of silver costs almost 30 US dollars. Investors should also focus on shares, such as Fortuna Silver Mines or Discovery Silver.
Fortuna Silver Mines - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/fortuna-silver-mines-inc/ - produces gold and silver. The company s five mines are located in Mexico, Peru, Burkina Faso, Argentina and the Ivory Coast.
Discovery Silver - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/discovery-silver-corp/ - has silver-zinc-lead projects in northern Mexico, including the highly prospective Codero project, a world-leading silver project.
