Investment Opportunity: Agriculture In The US

Agriculture in America is pretty depressed right now as you probably know maybe an area where there's an investment opportunity.

Gold Is Just Another Commodity

Investing is qualitative, quantitative, it's everything. I mean, I wish it was that simple. I wish you could just look at turn to page 37 and say ah there's the answer. There is no simple answer in the investment world, it's a combination of everything and that's the case with gold and everything else. Gold has been around for thousands of years, gold has had many periods when it's been in a bull market and many periods when it's in a bear market. Gold it's just another investment. I know that many people think it is a currency, gold is just another investment like everything else. Just another commodity like everything else.
