Gold is only a good investment when it's low.. Back in the early 2000's it was under $400. I was too young to invest myself but I told people that it was gonna triple then.. I was wrong, cause it shot up to $2,000, way too high. I think it's real price should be about $1,000. So, if it drops below that, I'd suggest investing.
It's doubtful they will in your lifetime....
The "normal" price for gold (adjusted for inflation to 1998 US dollars) is between US$350 & $US$650,
Gold is a bad investment.
it might never go up - there are no guarantees of that
