The current American thought on investing is a sad one. We the people are expected, socially pushed and even manipulated to hand over our money to those on wall street to help us build/save/grow our wealth for the future. The more you think about it the more insane it really is. In my eyes I do not see any difference between being in the market or going out and buying a bunch of lottery tickets, you may hit it big but more than not you come up short or just barely break even. It is depressing.
So why do most financial advisers, brokers and those on wall street strictly push tying your funds into the market? Same reason Las Vegas has bright lights, free drinks and a host of other comps; To keep you coming back for more and at the end of the day they are the true winners, not you.
We need to stop playing russian roulette with our investments. There are other places to invest aside from the flashing lights and rigged games that is wall steet. Precious metals aka Gold, Silver and Platinum have been considered valuable throughout man's known history and has never been worth zero. We are all aware that many forms of currencies have come and gone, markets crash and 401K's disappear but alas, gold and silver have always been there for us, a pillar of stability, like a light in a dark tunnel, helping guide us through times of financial uncertainty. Let's stop playing silly carnival games and invest in stability.
