  4. I've read history books and have probably forgotten more than you know about monetary history. A true study of the subject shows the idea of gold being an asset to be extremely silly.

    I think rental real estate or tillable farm ground is much better long term than precious metals.

  8. Yeah, that's what I think of when we discuss assets...things that will be in high demand in some sort of post-apocalyptic scenario. Gold just doesn't make the grade.
