With 100 million, depending on each person's needs, you can buy gold or save it. According to economic experts, if you buy gold to store for a long time, or for luck today, you can buy it. On the contrary, if you buy gold to "surf", buy and sell immediately, the risk of loss is very high. Because after the God of Wealth day, the price of gold will almost certainly cool down.

On the contrary, if you want to invest safely, you can deposit the above amount in banks for savings. However, with current interest rates, the amount of interest will be high or low depending on the deposit term and the corresponding interest rate applied by each bank.

For example, with 100 million, you deposit at Agribank for 12 months, enjoy interest rate of 4.8%. After 1 year, the interest you receive is:

Interest = 100 million x 4.8%/12 x 12 months = 4.8 million VND.
