[QUOTE="goldcollector, post: 2488309, member: 9088"]Hello I have about $8000 to put somewhere and everything seems like a bad option. #1. My bank will pay 0.00000000000001 % interest and then charge a bunch of fees so that effectively negative interest rates. #2. Stocks scare me as they are overinflated with cheap money now and Im afraid due for a fall. So that leaves me wanting to buy some gold because Gold is so beautiful and its been around forever and it will always have value and blah blah all the other stuff we already know. I would be looking to hold say 10 years or more but still I feel apprehensive even with Gold. Everywhere I look the sentiment seems to be so negative.
