I agree with several of the posts in this thread. Gold investing is not the way to get rich. Gold holds it's value. The reason it's gone up so
quickly in the last few years is because the dollar is tanking.
It's also good advice that investing in gold to prepare for a survival situation is not a very smart thing to do. Gold is only worth something in an
environment like what we have now. When food and shelter are very hard to come by, you're going to be better off paying with a live chicken than the
ounce of gold you have in your pocket.
I remember reading somewhere awhile back that back in the 1800s, an ounce of gold would buy you a new suit, a night out at the theatre, and a good
dinner. Two hundred years later...it'll buy you about the same thing. Gold value keeps up with inflation...which should make us question the
inflation statistics that the government is releasing.
