I am just going to try asking a few questions. I hope I don't anger anyone as it is probably repeated countless of times but I need a bit more assurance as gold definitely not my thing.

The situation is, my mom wanted to invest in gold. I am a little bit sceptical as my mom was scammed previously by FOREX.

So, these are the questions.
1-the price of gold is at all time high. Will it still go higher?
2-Will there be a possibility that the drop in 2008 be occuring?
3-Is it a good time to enter the gold market now?

I am advising my mom to invest in the passbook type though, not physical gold type. Thank you in advance.
