Read More0The advice from Dave Ramsey is to “only invest in something that has a good long-term track record.” Well Dave, in case you didn’t know, gold has over a 5,000 year track record. Is that a long enough track record for you?
The U.S. Dollar on the other hand has only a 38 year track record without gold backing.
