I am sure they have fixed the gold market too to screw you and me.

You would have to try hard to have been screwed investing in gold.
It's up 45% since November last year.

Want some now? *That was the question.

Well I wouldn't put all my money into gold today, or at anytime, but I don't
think "they have fixed the gold market too to screw you and me".

If you drop into your local gold dealer and pick up a 5 gram ingot every
Friday for the next year, I'd be surprised if you didn't end up a lot better
off than saving the equivalent GBP100 every week in a bank account.

Good advice Chad.
Never put all your eggs in one basket.
But, buying 5 gram ingots at a huge premium to the market will
actually cost you money that will take ten or more years to recover.

Premium property is my recommendation, it has easily out performed
gold and most other investments. The trick to real estate is that it
is far easier to find undervalued premium real estate than it is to
find undervalued premium shares or commodities. Use the rule "buy what
you know".

I am sure you would have bought gold in 1980 too. Watch out for a
Global deflation in asset prices. It might get very ugly.

I fear that it's the same story on this side of the pond, the 'quantitative
easing' (sic) will go on until the election next year, although why anyone
in their right mind would want to inherit government and take on such a
nightmarish financial mess is totally beyond me.

Bullshit.
Gold is not a valid option.
If it is, how would you invest in gold?
Careful, I am asking a loaded question but I doubt you'll notice.

Then come back to me in two, five, then ten years.
I'll be wealthier, wealthier and wealthier.
Will you be?

btw.
India has just bought 200 tons of gold from the IMF. But, the IMF has
another 200 ton for sale ... if there is not enough buyers!

I mean it's bad enough that I once found in an American dictionary the
phonetics for Oxygen as "Aahkzegen", they mis-spell colour and more words
than I can remember, but for the love of GOD - there's a periodic table!!
Just because most of your population can't be arsed to pronounce it
because the extra time interrupts the process of inserting donuts doesn't
mean you can arbitrarily change the spelling. Oh and there is such a
thing as SI (international units) that mean it's metre and litre, there's
no vagueness here.

So let's all adopt a new spelling - they are now Merka.
Oh and so therefore Merkins
