Investments

[Hedonistman]

The reason to invest in precious metals is because they are real and tangible. Of course you physically hold the metals,,,only fools buy paper certs---they're rife w/scams and manipulation. I make 1 quick call,, lock in the price and metals arrive 10 days later.
Anyone who thinks metal markets are volatile, ck the Forex. The Euro is less than 10 yrs old,,,came out around 3/$1. Now it's about $1.4/1,,, and the UK sure ain't no swinging dick economy, lol.
Only thing that keeps the USD afloat is that all currencys r in the same boat---
TOTALLY WORTHLESS. There is not 1 nation whose script is backed by ANYHING.
As for investing for yield, ck out the 'Dow Aristocrats' ,,, most exclusive 'club' of the NYSE. But for buy it, forget it, reap the dividends,,,just buy PM,,,cigs r the biggest drug on the planet,and no 1 stops getting high for very long,,,, lol
