Bought some gold..

You have actually made a pretty wise choice in my opinion. The value of gold has increased tremendously over the last ten years or so. I would buy as much of it as you can afford to buy right now, because the prices are going to continue to increase. I would be buying it myself, but I do not have any money to invest right now. Gold is probably the safest investment opportunity out there right now, especially if you are planning to hold it for a few years as a long-term investment.

I think you have a good idea in buying gold instead of other things. I believe the price of gold goes up every year and it's a good thing to stock up on gold jewelry. I remember buying a piece of jewelry and later on selling it at a higher price since gold, during the time I sold it, was pretty high. So yes, I do think it's a good investment.
