- csense 14y agoYou can just invest in the GLD exchange-traded fund (ETF) [1]. [1] http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=GLD http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=GLD
- elango 14y agoETF's are better than holding raw metals, i believe investing in raw metal or jewels is a myth, there is no buyer for raw gold/silver. Once you buy raw metal you end up with it for your lifetime or sell them for less (jewelers would give you less gold in a new design, after their 10-25% cut).
- cynicalkane 14y agoThat's a speculation. Investments are returns on real value. Speculations are bets on unrealized value. The OP asked about investments.
- rexreed 14y agoDoes this make angel "investing" more like angel "speculation"? Or even more so, Venture Capital primarily speculation versus investment? A legitimate question.
- cynicalkane 14y agoA little of both. Buying index funds is investing and buying gold is speculation, but there's not an excluded middle.
