<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 20654966, member: 24754&quot;]What do you mean by &quot;security for your family&quot;? Are you trying to buffer against the economy completely collapsing? Like an emergency fund to get out of the country? Or something like that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless some kind of apocalyptical situation occurs (What are the chances?), then precious metals are not the most efficient way to ensure long-term financial security. If you have enough disposable income to purchase 3-4 ounces of gold each month, then tossing that money into mutual funds will almost assuredly outperform gold over the long run (put some in foreign markets if the US markets scare you). There are other more tangible assets, like real estate, etc for which the same is true.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold would be nice to have if things really went to hell in a handbasket, however, I&#039;m not sure it would even be the best thing to have invested in under those circumstances. At some point, the most forward thinking investment would have been guns and piles of ammo. But, if things get that bad, then I don&#039;t really think that I&#039;d want to stick around anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>All just my opinions of course, each to their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
