Gold has always been seen as a permanent currency, it is non-perishable and durable and it's value has always been recognized especially in times of economic turmoil, such as during the great depression. Now more than ever in today's financial crisis, many are investing in gold as a safe option

I do believe that gold is a better investment as compared to keeping money in the bank, etc. Gold's value has never really dropped - even as the stock market prices drop, gold continuous to rise. It's still one of the most important market leverage. Places like pawnshops in particular are doing well because of the economic crisis not because of the "loans" they provide but also because the current gold they hold are increasing in value. Thanks for the response on my discussion :)

Yes thats true , it is a kind of good investment of everyone.Whatever happens to the value of dollar still gold is there. And if it happen the value of it high and high so we can have money of it later on. As the years go by , the value of gold also increased. So this is the best thing to save forever.

hi, bobby, I'm holding the same question as you do and neither am I an expert at this. I was told that gold investment is quite risky. so whether it's good or bad, it's up to your expectation of financial risk.
