My non-standard jargon: quantum of a stock or ETF is the face value or ticker price multipled by minimum lot size, excluding transaction costs.
I prefer this word because in (almost) any context, this single word by itself is unambiguous. So are “Low-quantum” and “big-quantum”.

You can buy-n-hold mufu, but not exactly like a stock, due to the annual fees.
— gold crash vs stocks crash
Current stock valuation is high, but gold is also high… not sure why.
If you fear stocks may fall, then you may buy some gold now, hoping for it to give you some profit in the anticipated equity crash.

In covid19 pandemic, USD lost value against gold and other currencies, partly due to printing money.

I would rather hold the BGC condo than buy-n-hold a SG condo. Holding BGC condo provides 1) higher rental yield 2) more upside. Sg condo’s advantage is stability in a world Tier 1 property market, better currency risk.
Rental yield is the biggest factor, esp. given the high quantum and high commitment.
I feel BGC condo has rental demand among locals in addition to expats. SG condo mostly target expats.
