The great unanswered question about gold is, "What next?" Once you have sold your gold at incredibly high prices, you have nothing else to invest in, because to buy more gold costs even MORE money. And you can't eat gold. And it costs you money to just sit on gold, because it doesn't create any wealth through investment on its own.
okay, so buy silver. You can actually use silver coins.
The only gold I own is on my left ring finger.
I was being sarcastic. I detest the gold commercials that run regardless of the economy.
