About gold

I was listening to an expert talking about gold on CNBC. I just cannot resist reacting to what he was saying - which is quite typical.

Gold is not a magic metal with supernatural qualities. The best way to approach investing in gold is to look at it as a commodity. Like any other commodity. Like crude oil. Like copper.

Before investing in gold make sure most commodities are also rising. You will find this scenario during a strengthening economy.

Right now the economy is weak. Commodities peaked in early 2011. And gold has not gone anywhere since may of 2011. Like most other commodities.
