[quote=walterwhite]Comparing gold to ford isn’t fair. Gold isn’t z stock play it’s a savings play. If the choice is gold 1,000 or 1,000 in the bank, gold seemed safer. Sure ford worked out but things are only no brainers in retrospect. Gold is and was an alternative currency play.
I am willing to acknowledge that dverythingbi just wrote may be total bullshit.
Worst stock advice ever? Buy Polaroid in 1999, the who digital camera thing won’t take off[/quote]
Gold isn’t a savings play. If you put money in the bank, you’re guarantee x% return every year and there’s NO WAY to lose your capital. You can lose money investing in gold if gold goes down. Gold can go up and down like Ford.
