I've been pretty lucky with investments. I just hit it at the right time, the housing market crashed and the price of gold is at an all time high. I've been acquiring gold for almost 30 years, don't like banks, don't have a 401K. With the high value of gold right now and the very low prices of real-estate, I thought it would be wise to convert some of the gold to land.

I dunno how much I'd be saying. You may have a lot of people out there trying to figure out where all that gold is buried.

Morning all, I'm here at work, still sick and feeling like crap. At lease I'm on the down hill side of this cold. All the mountians this morning are covered with snow, what I can see of them. It's cold and windy this morning.
