All That Glitters

When you walk into a bank and see piles of dollars neatly packaged, just waiting for you to sign and take them home it probably makes you feel rich. You've had a big check because you've won some money in a competition. Now you want to take it home and spend it. But is it really worth as much as you think it is? Those crisp new dollars might make your eyes sparkle but they don't glitter like the real thing, like gold or silver.

The price of everything has skyrocketed but is it really because commodities have risen in price, or is it because the dollar has sunk in value? Because your paper money has been devalued it takes more and more to buy less. Have you thought about investing your money in the real glittery stuff? If you have then you might decide to buy gold bars. Today's political and economic climate is uncertain which is why more investors are putting their money into tangible assets such as silver and gold bars. So if your dollar has lost its shine then consider buying something that really glitters, consider gold.
