Solid Investing

I have said some things here lately about investing and trying to decide which way to go. I don't think that I have mentioned that I am looking at investing in gold.

Gold is the one solid investment that you can hold in your hand and take with you where ever you go. It is happily traded anywhere in the world. With today's market price you can carry a 1 ounce gold American eagle in your pocket and have approximately $1200 with you. Try carrying that amount in paper money in your pocket.

The advantage to investing in gold is that it does not depend on the strength of the economy of the country that issues it. Gold is good anywhere and there is one price for it all over the world.
