The issue of the cycle, for example, your property has passed this year, and it may be changed to another property next year.

When consumers buy, one is an ordinary gold bar of this kind of jewelry, which may be processed by some traditional techniques. This kind of gold bar may have a better appearance, including packaging, and is suitable for collection and gifting.
On the other hand, if I buy gold bars for investment purposes, then it is suggested that investors can buy some of these ordinary investment gold bars, including some with some zodiac signs. When such gold bars are realized in the future, then their own Profits will be more generous.

因为黄金现在处在一个上涨的通道当中，如果这个时候选择可能相比较，它未来能不能涨，能涨多少，你的预期值是多少，这些都不太确定。我觉得要学习点东西就是对黄金的基本常识、基本逻辑、基本技术要有一些了解。然后这样你在选择做这个产品的时候，你可以自己做到心里有数。而不是一种潮流或者一阵风似的去做，我觉得这样对消费者对每个人都不是一件好事。
