Invest in Gold

Invest as much as you can in Gold, because everything else is about to take a massive hit. It looks like we are about to enter a major recession.

You sound certain of this. I'm not saying it isn't going to happen, but there have been a few times over the past 2 years where I thought we were headed back into a recession.

I am not certain, but it looks like the layoffs are starting that were held off because of the election and the stock market has seen better days.

Why not real estate instead? Taking the tax break and inflation into consideration and you are borrowing at negative real rates. Can't do that with gold, plus you can rent a property and get a return.

Isn't cash better if things go deflationary?

I don't think so, even though you have more purchasing power, you have to think of opportunity costs. You could make a greater return on investing, greater than the deflationary rate.

In most markets, Real estate is better than gold right now. As long as investor loans are under 4% and lending laws staying the way they are, real estate is an easy 20% return on your initial investment yearly as well as the equity building aspects.
I do not see gold yielding a consistent 20% return yearly. I am we'll documented about how heavy I went into gold/silver on this board in 08'

I'm getting ready to buy some gold coins from my paw-in-law. Been reading a lot of positive things about the outlook for 2013.

While everyone bails out of solid company stocks for useless over-allocated positions in gold, I will buy your companies at a discount and make a healthy return because I know companies are able to generate cash flows in the current environment while your gold... looks pretty?

I've been investing heavily in gold recently, mostly chains, watches and grills. I like to keep my assets liquid, something I can dump at a pawn shop if I'm in a rough spot.

Gold is up almost $100 since the election.
Unless something is done about the upcoming tax hike, expect it to go higher the closer we get to the end of the year.

You need to look at the performance of gold in the 2008 recession if you believe we are entering another one. Longer term I like gold, right now it's tough to like anything other than cash because I'm also thinking the odds of a recession are too great for me to be in the market.
