re: investing in gold

Dude, I am kind of a goldbug guy, and I think that is a bad idea. You diversify with gold and hold for some level less than armageddon, say a Weimar or Argentina situation. But if TSHTF, you're better off with bullets and beans. I have found that goldmoney is very trustworthy. I have never heard one bad thing about Apmex other than being out of coin in the last year or so. I know nothing about ETFs or gold IRAs. Good luck!
