This is the 11th in a series of 11 Posts that will be published on this Blog. All 11 Posts are filed under the Blog Category ‘Gold as an Investment’ and can be accessed by clicking here. We hope you find this Post Series useful.

While preparing this Post Series, I found two recently published books I think particularly helpful: The Goldwatcher: Demystifying Gold Investing, John Katz & Frank Holmes, 2008, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. and Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver, Michael Maloney, 2008, Hachette Book Group USA. I highly recommend both. Where I have adopted ideas from those books, I have put them in italics. Page references to The Goldwatcher and Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver are denoted by (Goldwatcher – page xx) and (Guide – page xx) respectively. I also recommend www.theGoldwatcher.com Blog and www.GoldSilver.com, websites related to those respective books, to those of you interested in gold. Subsequently I found a 3rd recently published book, Buy Gold Now, Shayne McGuire, 2008, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Like the other two, Buy Gold Now is available at Amazon.com. Again, I recommend this book to you. Page references to Buy Gold Now are denoted by (Buy Gold Now – page xx).

General Conclusions

My reasoning behind my conclusions with respect to Gold as an Investment are set out in this Post Series. Succinctly, they can be summarized as follows:

1. Gold is ‘real money’, fiat currencies are not.
