OREANDA-NEWS Investments in Soviet Christmas tree toys are one of the best types of non-traditional investments, said financial analyst Alexander Razuvaev, who emphasized that they are becoming more expensive by 10-15 percent per year and "this is a fairly large market." His advice is given by the "Paragraph".

The expert also mentioned investment wine in this regard, as well as the fact that "the best alternative investment is to invest in the woman you love," who "will give her energy and you will achieve everything you want."

Another interlocutor of the publication, financial market expert Andrei Barkhota, noted that investing "in seasons of crop failure or some kind of permanent shortage" is worth it in cereals, as well as, for example, in machinery, cars, or even, as it turned out in 2023, in eggs, which then had interruptions. According to him, investments in gold do not always make sense due to the fact that the price increase for precious metals may be lower than the inflation rate.

Investing in large quantities of gold can lead to problems like demanding a discount if necessary, according to Georgy Ostapkovich, head of the HSE Center for Market Research. According to him, "you can't lose with gold," but winning with it "is also very problematic."
