Buying Gold and Silver

Submitted by Frank Gilroy on August 14, 2007 - 03:59.

I've also heard a few "experts" recommend the purchase of small amounts of silver and gold. What do you think about that?

The scariest thing in my mind is that given the challenges you've mentioned above we've yet to see what the baby-boomer effect is going to do to the landscape.

I'm under the impression that, with-in the next few years, the number of people turning 70 1/2 who will be forced to start withdrawing their money from the IRAs will increase by over 33% in a single year. That is bound to put a huge strain on things.
