Copper vs. Gold - Head to Head Battle


Here We Go !!!!!!!!




    Head to head challenge, today we are going to take a look at Copper vs. Gold under the scope of historical percentages, with respect to the average closing prices. Lets make sure we compare with a fair sound perspective. 

    The price of copper below is per pound and the price for gold below is per ounce. So not exactly apples to apples, but the detail in question is the percentage. 

    Without further a do, lets go ahead and take a look, the data was taken from Macrotrends (the percentages done by number crunching) and we find gold which is +4832.51% was the percentage increase from 1970 to 2020, the +351.61% was the copper percentage increase from 1970 to 2020. 

    Its not even a competition, gold is the clear winner, gold ran 14 laps before copper could complete its first lap around the track, gold threw 14 punches all while copper threw just 1.

     The picture is clear:

 +4832.51% vs. +351.61%. 

(About 13.8x higher) 

    In the last blog, can copper be the new gold? I mentioned that copper is copper and gold is gold. With gold being the clear winner in this case, lets still stay on the topic of copper and why it might be of interest ?

So Why The Push For Copper ? 

    Its simple, this blog is intended for frugal investors like myself, I would encourage investors to have gold, silver, crypto, mutual funds, bonds, real-estate and other forms of securities in their portfolio. Diversify, diversify, diversify. And there is no one size fits all strategies for everyone. It depends on the financial situation. 

        But mind you, if you can't hold it in your hands, is it really yours?

    Lets talk about this, imagine a typical American house-hold family considering the current situation, 2021. It would be safe to assume the typical family is struggling financially, and discretionary funds are diminishing. 

Lets Talk About It

              How much physical gold could you buy with say 
                an extra $500 at the end of this month in 2021?

            How much physical copper could you buy with say 
                an extra $500 at the end of this month in 2021?


    Wait for it, wait for it , wait for it.... trick question, you can't buy an ounce of gold with $500 (1 ounce = $1810.00), but you can buy/ invest in about 230 ounces of copper with $500 (1 ounce =$2.20). 

     It is something you can see, touch, hear, taste and smell and it has proven to beat inflation. So even if you are on wall-street or main-street, it might be something you want to look into.  

    In conclusion, yes gold is the clear winner, and I highly recommend you are invested somehow one way or another, but for the people who are frugal like myself copper bullion might be something to look into.
