My colleagues are encouraging each other to buy gold because the price dropped, saying something like "it's gold, it'll always go back up anyway."

But I see this as a pretty common way of thinking:
👉 Assuming gold always holds its value
👉 Buying whenever it drops, without looking at the context
In reality, the most important thing in investing is still the cycle and the entry point.
Gold can be a safe asset, but that doesn't mean buying it anytime is the right move — especially when it's still in a high price zone.
Markets don't go up forever.
And no asset is "absolutely safe."
If you just believe absolutely and don't care about price levels, you'll easily end up in a situation… forced into unintended long-term holding.
This story isn't just about gold — it also applies to:

👉 What matters isn't what you buy, but where you buy it in the cycle
Today's price isn't necessarily the bottom
