Why I Don’t Invest In Gold and Silver
In my network of friends / family / colleagues, I’m most often known as ‘The Investment Guy’.
Because of this, I’m often asked about the latest trend in investing, whether it be years ago, gold and silver, the Greek Crash a couple years ago, or more recently, weed stocks and cryptocurrency.

Oh and if you’re wondering, here are Warren Buffett’s thoughts on gold…
“You could take all the gold that’s ever been mined, and it would fill a cube 68 feet in each direction. For what that’s worth at current gold prices, you could buy all—not some—of the farmland in the U.S. Plus, you could buy 16 Exxon Mobils, plus have $1 trillion of walking – around money. Or you could have a big cube of metal. Which would you take? Which is going to produce more value?”
