Are Europe standing on the threshold to a recession

I'm afraid so. At least the country in northern Europe where I live.

A lot of investors recommend that you invest in gold during recessions.

I intend to see this prediction as a good thing. My 49th birthday is coming up next week.

I am going to wish for gold, and lots of it. I assume the investors mean gold bullions but I'm thinking more of bracelets, necklaces, rings and so on.

All I need know is to get the spouse onboard...
