Their portfolio recommendations are so different (stocks, bonds and money markets versus gold, silver, and stockpiled food) that it's hard to find the right path. There is one thing, though, that's always a good investment: Yourself.Have more to say? Join the discussions at Wise Bread's Finance and Frugality Forums.
