Buying gold 1

I figure money and mutual fonds and all that is pretty shadey with such an uncertain future. I heard on the radio gold could possibly go up to 1000 an ounce. Right now its at 600 or so dollars. You can buy one once coins of gold. Then you actually have the bonefied backing no papper dollar that they can print out by the pallet.
think its a good idea, hording a pile of gold? Maybe burry it in the back yard in a cool little chest.

i bought a little bit of gold when it was low (300/oz)
got a krugerand and a bullion bar
whats gold at now anyway?
im torn between investing more money into it, now thats is sort of higher priced.....but if the US dollar ever nosedives, some gold would be a saving grace, for sure.........

Yeah its seriously up to 6+ a few months ago it was 5. But they see it going up to almost 1000 possibly.
i wasn't thinking of it till now, but i remeber a while ago it was at 3. Wish i got it at that price because i could have flipped my stack real fast.
Whats a good web site to find out more info on this? I would like to see a timeline of the price per oz.

i would have to say that at this time i wouldnt bet gold to be a good investment.
I used to follow its price about a year or 2 ago, when it was un the $300's, and often used to say "hmmmm a oz of weed or an oz of gold) as they were roughly the same price.
but having seen it shoot up in price that quickly (mostly in regards to some economic rules put out by china) i really cant see it being anything stable, especially beacuse since it hit that high it hasnt done anything spectatular.
also i have seen buy gold now opportunites on the internet, and on late night tv, which also leads me to think that it not a good investment at this time.

I collect gold, have done so for nearly 15 years. I collect anything that is gold and get it melted into small goldbars, mostly jewlery and stuff. Its a hobby I really enjoy and I have yet to sell one gram of gold. sometimes i have cannabis or some other things people want and I trade for anything in gold. my colection is worth quite a bit, not sure how much, i dont follow the gold prices.

You would be better off in the long run, to invest spare cash, either in a 401K, or a Roth Ira. as long as you have earned something, you can open a Roth, Gold investing is for 2 types of people 1. speculators 2. people who think, something bad is going to happen, and the USA dollar will be worthless, that probably won,t happen in our lifetime.. IMO

If we catch you, do we get three wishes? 
Congratulations Schwip!! 300 --> 600
The best gold in the world (99.999% pure I believe) is made by the Canadian Mint who sell it as all sorts of coins, even coins with a psychedelic hologram effect stamped into the gold
Remember that gold can CORRODE if stored improperly. Platinum is best, but you might look into diamonds as well 
If things get rough (lets say the USA gets totalitarian and nonconformist citizens have to flee the country, a diamond can be turned into a pea-sized package which you swallow, fly around the world and poop out a few thousand dollars

Who is to say something won't happen. unless we clean up our act, shit will hit the fan. our president has no ethical motives other then his own. he is breaking international laws of the geneva convention type. He is trying to get another war started before november. When will the world say enough is enough?
Mutual funds are good, but its dependent on things with variables that can make or break you. You have to trust in people and the economical stuff.
We keep printing out cash and our doller is getting to be wurth less n less.
Land is a good option as long as you can afford to keep it.

The dollar isn't worth jack because its ink on paper, that isn't backed by a gold reserve anymore, in a country thats several $1.000.000.000.000 in debt, ruled by a government incresingly alienated from its people, the world population and international conventions.
It will sound silly to most here but Americans: there may come a time that you have to get yourself to safety, just like in any other country in the world. Imagine mass arrests for small vices, martial law, making it only a matter of time before you are next.
If you have a cash surplus I'd say it would be wise to take part of that surplus and convert it into something of inherent value. Silver, Gold, Palladium, Platinum, Sapphires, Rubies, Diamonds. This would be good to have even if it didn't yield you a profit, but if you can afford to wait, value tends to increase.
