Holding gold can also make sense for middle-class and poor households in countries – for example, China and India – that significantly limit access to other financial investments. For most others, gold is just another gamble that one can make.
持有黄金对像中国和印度这些国家的中产阶级和贫困家庭来说也有意义，因为这些国家大大限制国内人民的其它金融投资渠道。对其他大多数人来说，黄金只是另一种赌博罢了。跟其它赌博一样，赌黄金不一定赌得赢。
