<p>[QUOTE="tdogchristy90, post: 1355678, member: 35778"]Im no gold person, I never have and currently dont buy it...(I am a poor college student after all lol) I will however say that looking at gold from a historical standpoint it is a form of currency. Even though in todays market gold is not officially considered a currency it has been in the past going all the way back to the egyptians......for every single country in the world who prints paper money, its value is only related to the trust we put in it. Gold however is a raw resource and as such will always be valued in some way no matter how much economies improve or degrade. Again, gold is a raw resource like spices and tobacco and every other commodity that was used for trade and the like before paper money became the standard. So again looking at it from a historical perspective, Gold will always hold some sort of monetary value reguardless of outside influence where as paper money is based on a form trust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
