The Gold Bug

Sunday January 18, 2004
People incorrectly assume that gold is always a safe investment. Although it is true that gold has always been regarded by most of the world as a standard of value, its price fluctuates widely. The price of gold, for example, declined from over $800 in the 1980's to under $350 in the 1990's. The moral of the story? Nothing is a sure thing. Base your investing decisions on analysis, information and price.
