There's been some debate over whether to own gold coins or gold stocks if there really is a meltdown. 98% of my investment (besides real estate) is in a self directed retirement account. So owning actual coins or bullion is not possible. Does anyone have any suggestions for this scenario? At this point, I'm thinking there will be one or more major corrections before we even arrive at January 1, 2000. So in the lead up to then, gold stocks or perhaps a precious metals mutual fund would suffice. But do I sell that in late fall of 1999 and just hold cash? Any opinions or comments would be appreciated... Dan
