Have you ever wondered about the commercials where they ask you to mail your jewelry to them with the promise to pay you for it? Personally, I don’t trust any company enough to mail my gold to them. I keep thinking it will get ‘lost in transport’ or their check to me will be perpetually ‘in the mail’. If you are hoping to invest in gold, than you should either buy gold coins or buy gold bullion for easier liquidity. Jewelry is something to purchase for sentimental value.

And speaking of gold, for most of my adult life I’ve heard advertisements for ‘buy gold‘. In my mind, I see images of rough, grizzly looking men panning gold in a stream or sacks of gold coins being shoved across a poker table. But, buying gold makes sense.

It’s always been around. It’s a fairly safe investment, having been around since the age of time. I think when it comes time for me to think about ‘preserving wealth’ (and I’m not about to let that dream die), investing in gold coins will be food for thought.

Welcome back!
