Therefore, go to the bank then go to the nearest jewelry store and buy up all the gold and diamonds I can?
I have a cousin who lives in the inner city and his culture is about having the biggest diamonds and the most gold around their necks. He may end up being smarter then I. His method of investment is going to be more profitable then any stock, 401k, or other 'rich on paper' option I have invested my 'money' into.
