Re: What Amount Would It Take To Get You Out Of De
I remember discussions in the 80s that investments should be divided four ways:
Gold
Land
Cash
Stocks
Land is still an excellent investment. Those who bought gold prior to it's sudden upswing could more than make back the money on their investment, but the original concept was that gold could always be traded for goods if the dollar failed-however, if the dollar fails, crop land will be more useful than gold. Who will trade goods for gold if they are starving? Food is much more barterable in a failed economy. Stocks and cash both have obvious uses, but are both very questionable in today's economy as well. However, if the markets could turn around, it would be good to have some investments in all four areas.
