RE: RE: RE: stack The very best thing you can do for yourself if you think you are, or you are a gold bug, is to buy an ounce of the stuff and put it in your pocket for a month or two. Every time you dig in your pocket, you can pull it out and see it twinkle in the sunlight.
After you get over "the magpie effect" of playing with the shiny stuff, you can go look at that 100 year gold chart again, and then kick yourself in the b(.)tt for being so foolish for buying it in the first place.
Gold may not tarnish, but the allure of owning it does when you look at some of the investments you could have made instead of falling in love with a yellow metal.
