I personally feel that investing in any thing besides a way to live a life sustained without outside influence is just plain stupid. The stock market is crashing. The economy is in the toilet. The dollar is soon to be worth NOTHING. It is going to get bad folks. There will be no food on the shelves at the grocery stores, no fuel at the pumps, and no guns or ammo. Don't forget electricity, running water, heat, and all of those other things that make our lives so convenient and easy. Gold may be pretty, but you can't eat it, it won't keep you warm, it won't clothe you. It may be valuable, but if you can't find some one willing to trade for it it won't do you much good. It is my advice to anyone who has enough money to be wondering where to invest it, spend it, but spend it wisely!
