    oh wow – cool graphic. Very interesting stuff. I had a savings bond a really long time ago – I wish I wouldn’t have cashed it in, I would have been curious to see what it would have turned into now.

    I have a friend that has been buying gold for a long time. I am not really into it. I think that if I would have put a bunch of money in coffee cans in my backyard about 5 years ago I would be better off right now. The stock market has been quite the roller coaster.

    Well, that’s a pretty brilliant way of investing money… I might talk to hubby about this someday. Thank you for the post. :) I wonder, though, if this is because of inflation that the number is that high… what I mean is, is that 100 dollars equal to the 1700 in the 70s? Also, the small print says it doesn’t guarantee future results. I’m not certain I’m comfortable with a no guarantees way of investing.

    I am too chicken to invest in gold, silver or other precious metals. They are too volatile for my blood especially with gold still near its highest peak ever

    I am so bad about this. I am clueless when it comes to investing. My parents never saved for the future so unfortunately I don’t know how. I wish my husband was more money saavy but he’s not. Guess it’s time to learn.

    We invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and yes, commodities like gold and silver. Diversification is key; you never want to put all of your eggs in one basket.
