<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midas1, post: 1294243, member: 21309&quot;]I suppose it&#039;s possible for a very knowledgeable person to start buying coins or currency as a long term investment and make some money.&nbsp;&nbsp; OTOH, that same person could take the same amount of money, using the same consistent investment schedule, and&nbsp; make significantly more on traditional investments. (somehow avoiding the Wall St fraudsters)&nbsp;&nbsp; In 2008 or 2009 I posted a similar question to yours in CoinTalk re: gold coins as an investment and took about 80% of the sound advice offered in the replies.&nbsp;&nbsp; Through blind luck I&#039;ve done OK, eg, 1924 $20.00 Saint Gaudens gold coin NGC MS 63 for cheap, 2009 St Gaudens UHR for $1,189.00 that&#039;s worth around three thousand today and several other gold coins that have significantly increased in value. A few days ago I ordered five American silver eagle anniversary sets for $1,505.00.&nbsp; They&#039;re are worh around $3,000.00 now.&nbsp; Probably all of these coins will significantly decrease in value when the price of precious metals&nbsp; takes a dive.&nbsp; Of course, there was one piece of advice I didn&#039;t take that would had made me some big money.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another poster, DesertGem?, suggested TD Ameritrade.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think anybody investing in individual stocks can to better than a free&nbsp; TD Ameritrade&nbsp; ROTH account with no charge DRIP reinvestment feature which includes a free annual statement.&nbsp;&nbsp; A stable 4% - 5% or more dividend reinvested for 15 or 20 years would fatten that account nicely over 15 - 20 years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
