Gold and silver, Investments Options

[mirocu]

If anyone is interested in this I would suggest getting the real, physical stuff (and from a solid, reputable dealer) as opposed to paper gold or silver as that at the end of the day is just that; paper.


I also thought we could use this thread to talk about investments in general. What do you feel is the best one?

Acadian has a very strong point there.

My grandmother always believed the best investment is real estate. If you own a piece of property, theoretically you can grow your own food and support yourself on it. But let me take this one step further . . .

In arid regions like the American West, Africa, and much of northern Asia, water is key to economics. Even in areas like subtropical zones, clean drinking water is essential to survival. Hence in more civilized areas, water rights underlie the value of real estate. The most expansive ranch is worthless if if has no reliable access to water. Wars have been fought over access to water. Countries have risen and fallen because of access to water. And the kind of water we need to survive is disappearing. Fast.

Without water, it doesn't matter if you have gold and silver bullion in the basement. You won't be around to benefit from the shiny stuff.
