Gold

If you have a bunch of old gold jewelry sitting around, sure cash it in, it's worth something. Investing in gold, on the other hand, seems like a marginal idea...

It is valuable today, because of hard economic times I guess gold is quite pricy. Just don't seel any to any of those fly by night Cash For Gold operations.

Ef Gold! Facebook just went public! A piece of history or misery? Jury's still out. For the times they are a-changin'.

If you bought gold 3 years ago at USD 800 and sold it last September at USD 1900 then you might think it is a really valueable stuff. You are lucky and you made a lot of money. If you bought gold last September at USD 1900 and sold it last week at USD 1700 then you might think it does not worth the money...

If all those tacky little "We Buy Gold" shops mushrooming around the country are any indication of where gold is going, then I'd say it was at least a hot commodity for someone. Of course, like telemarketing, Chia Pets and other here-today-gone-tomorrow establishments, I get the distinct impression that the old guy dropping off his lounge lizard disco jewelry will not be that “someone”.

...and I was right.

Meh, it's always had some value, it all really depends on the demand of the stuff. There are other things that are worth more in my opinion.

I still don't buy into the gold craze... you can't fucking eat it and it only has a use if money means something. I'll keep buying ammunition.

I got my stash secured.

When the global economy collapses and there is rioting in the streets for food, shelter and personal security a reinforced gold balustrade around you and your loved ones will come in VERY handy.

We have all these gold bugs running around trying to scare people into buying physical gold. Their sales pitch is based on fear, fear of hyperinflation, war and other unforeseen events. I'm skeptical of gold because it has very little market utility, thus it won't be very useful in a situation where we might have a barter type of economy. Furthermore, it is not a very liquid asset. And of course, the people who are hyping up the gold market many times are financially tied to rising gold prices, thus they have an interest in pumping up its price. The idea that they promote is that the price of gold will continue to rise as the dollar's reign as the world's reserve currency comes to an end. Most of these predictions are off base due to various factors, among them the depth of the US Treasuries market and the lack of an alternate currency with such resources to fill this demand. The dollar will eventually cease to be the world's reserve currency, but not anytime soon. Anyone ... Read more

Even if the Dollar, Euro, Yuan, etc get devalued so much that their primary remaining function would be to serve as toilet paper, gold will still be worth its weight as a form of barter, and if you had enough, you'd run barter town.

gold has actually become very valuable and has continued to rise over time. silver has even began a climb back up after hitting rock bottom. if you plan on scrapping any gold for money shop around for a legit and also honest buyer. the last thing you want to do is mail it to one of those places that advertise on tv but i think the majority of people are smart enough not to do this.

i own very little gold would not be worth that much. could not afford to buy gold and hold to it. from what i hear it can be worth quite a bit. guess someone would have to be careful where they would take it for making good money.

You don't want to hang onto that metal stuff that came out of the dirty ground. In fact, email me and I'll take do you a favor and take whatever you have off your hands at no charge to you.

I'm taking off a star because the gold wedding rings from my two marriages weren't worth a shit.

You collected Gold, and its value rising overtime.
