I would rather have gold bars stitched in my mattress than cash. It won't be destoyed in a fire for one thing. I keep reading that the Japanese are hoarding cash because their interest rates are so low. If it was a matter of holding cash or gold I would hold the gold. Obviously any asset you have can be invested at various rates of return. Inut stocks give you 10%+ a week right now. The Indian gold bonds concern me. If I read it right the Indian govt will lease or sell the gold deposited with them, earn a return and recompense the original owners with part of that return.
