Having some gold is not a bad idea.
Everybody says it is a good investment.
But really, where does the information originate?
From people who's business endeavor is selling precious metals.
I applaud precious metal dealers for their endeavor and wish them good luck.
But the fact is, a good investment does not require advertising to find capital.
Gold was a good investment when nobody wanted it.
Following the crowd in investments is a sure way to less than average returns.
