Which is the best investment in the current climate?

I have been looking in to the best investment for the current economy and i cant see a better in vestment than gold.

- Massive recent money creation
- Undervalued asset
- Way below inflation adjusted price

What do people think?

your best investment is you. Invest in a financial education. You can learn how to develop an income and wealth that will never be effected by the ups or downs of the economy.

I disagree. Gold is most likely a horrible investment at this point. When the stock market fails .. gold is the best option. Do you think the stock market is going to fail? I don't think so. Don't buy all the media hype regarding gold..

Put back money and invest in Firefox/Mozilla because when it goes public its gonna pop like Google did...

But first in for most invest in your self. Read books that build your character.

Firefox has been public for many many years and no one ever makes money out of browsers, yours is bad advice

Don't buy gold, due to the weakness of the dollar gold is at some of it's highest ever rates so think how far it has to fall. It can't physically just keep rising. Gold investment will yield a relatively low %ROI and is massively risky to hold on to

Best investment advice

Good question,

Given the U.S. economy is in the toilet, along with real estate, there will always be opportunities, recessions and depressions created more millionaries than at any time during booming economy.

I bought gold in the $400. range, so given golds rising to over $1050. and hovering, yes, it does have further to go, and when the major world economies dedollarize, gold will rise more than we see it at now, so yes, buying gold is still a good investment, but I feel silver and platinum are even better investments.

Outside of metals, go with green technologies which continue to explode even in a recession. I am heavily invested in new energy alternative technologies, and with recent advances, a few companies will explode in the next year, and I don't mean solar or wind, but an entirely more cost effective breakthrough soon to be announced. Always look for environmental energy alternatives for maximum return on investment, even better than gold or silver, and short oil. lol

Success to all,

GOLD !! Ok maybe back in 2000/2001 .. Or if your an old person who has tons of money looking for security .

I bought Gold/silver back in 2002 Mortgaged my house. Ok i made money lots of it ... But i think there are better things out there .

IF i had money to let lay around id totally do it in Grains . But right now im investing heavy in Steel scrap steel . (Ya thats right scrap steel) Frown if you may . Steel is at Lows and NOT at all inline with Inflation at all and bound to rebound in the next 10 years.

I have a Oil Field Service Company which puts out containers to Oil Producers in western canada for there scrap steel . We bring in approx 500 ton per month currently . (this is just a secondary company for me) :P My main money is still my Minting Company
