<prompt> Human: My friend keeps telling me that gold is a really secure and stable investment at this time. I got about 15K in my savings and I want to make it grow. Can gold do that for me?  <response>: No. Gold isnt a good investment regardless of what people tell you. Diversify. If you have a decent savings beyond emergency fund I would suggest looking to invest in tax advantaged accounts such as RothIRA and 401k if available.
