  •  Why Buy Gold? (none / 0)

    The short answer is: Gold's value is incredibly stable.  Just as a for-instance, right now, old is $426.00 an ounce.

    That will buy a rich man's business suit perfectly well.

    In 100 AD, 1 ounce of gold bought a richly decorated Toga.

    Basically, if you are getting into Gold, it means you think there will either be deflation, or that there will be very rapid inflation.
