Another “The Complete Guide . . .” book, the gold book has proved to be very popular in the current economy, with many people turning away from other investments in favor of the physical metal.

 

What many people fail to consider when they decide to invest in gold is that you have absolutely no income from it, and it is always a security risk. So you have to moderate the way in which you do it, and the book includes other ways of benefiting from gold prices. That’s not to say you shouldn’t have the comfort of the actual metal, you just have to temper your enthusiasm.

 

Personally speaking, and this is not advice to anyone because I legally can’t advise you on what to do with your money, I think silver is the great unnoticed story that will happen in the next few years, and the reasons for this are given in the book which devotes a chapter to silver. In addition, if you buy “junk silver” (which is anything but junk) then you have lots of smaller coins that could be negotiated if the economy came to an abrupt halt, as some people are suggesting.

 

Just saying…
