Personally, I would put my money into mutual funds instead. I like Fidelity, but there are lots of good companies out there.

Gold and silver are quite volatile and risky and are as likely to go down, as up. I certainly wouldn’t have them as my only investment. Unfortunately you missed a big run-up in gold prices over the last couple of years.

It’s easy to sell gold and silver, but the catch is, you’ll lose value everytime you make a transaction, and transactions in tangible product are less efficient than electronic transactions. In other words, you can always sell it, but you might not make any money.

Don’t believe the ads on places like FOX News that gold is a “sure thing”.
