If you read "Total Money Makeover", page 74 and 75...."Gold is actually a lousy investment with a long track record of mediocrity...." "Furthermore, gold is not used when economies fail." Unfortunately, his staunchest disciples, those that don't think for themselves, are completely into long-term growth mutual funds and real estate. Anyway, having said that, I still love most of his material and my family practices most of his ideas - except when it comes to gold;-) Most people should follow his ideas about getting out of debt, having an emergency fund, and investing a healthy chunk of money on a monthly basis. Good discussion Chris
