SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW

I hear a lot of nonsense about gold.

Gold is a commodity. Make no mistake about it. When commodities are strong, gold goes up. When commodities decline, gold sinks.

Check the enclosed chart (click on the chart to enlarge it). XME (ETF for metals) outperformed gold (ETF GLD for gold) by a huge margin. And I mean huge.

And please, avoid gold coins, unless you are an expert coin collector. I spare you with the details.

If you believe in a strong economy and inflation, gold (GLD) is not the right investment.
