I’ve been warning people of the risks of hanging all your hopes on any one country… any one economy… or any one currency… for close on 30 years. If everything you own is tied to one country and things go awry there it will likely spell disaster. The smart move is diversification. I’ve established residency […]
I read once about a California couple who found one thousand four hundred $20 gold coins from the mid-1800s buried on their property. The store was estimated to be worth as much as $10 million due to the rarity and quality of some of the coins. The value of the gold alone was about $2 […]
