Well, I invested in Gold and Silver in 2009 and bought up to 2013. Since then the Gold and Silver prices have been manipulated in an environment that keeps me uncomfortable. I looked at Bitcoin in 2009 but didn't know how to purchase it.. then it was like $5.00.. so I feel kinda shitty about that. Right now cash can sit outside the bank.. but it collects dust. I would even look at collectibles and art; but I have heard problems wit forgeries in Art.. I'm basically stuck ;). That's why I wrote this article.. to see what a person would do step by step.
