Over at TheStreet.com, Alix Steel uses the price of a top-line iPad plus a two-year AT&T unlimited-data contract to review what an investor can do with the $1,548.75 the package costs. First on her list is physical gold; it then turns to ETF alternatives, ETNs and (briefly) mining stocks - and ends with Apple stock.
Of course, gold has no intrinsic WiFi... (sorry.)

So which would you buy? iPad or Gold?
ReplyDeleteIf those were the only choices, a gold Maple. I have a computer, but I don't have any physical gold.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I have no need of intrinsic wi-fi :)
Going out and buying physical gold certainly isn't as trendy as buying an iPad or computer. Maybe if someone created a gold store as "cool" as an Apple store - a gold Maple would win?
ReplyDeletePossibly. Libertarianism has become somewhat trendy amongst the young, and that base would be the logical place to start. The trouble is, the most known libertarian gold-dealer figure [now deceased] was like the movement's kindly grampa. That's nice, and he did deserve that repute, but his shadow doesn't make for trendiness. Grampa's great and all, but...
ReplyDeleteThere's only one way I can think of for a gold store to be trendy: for it to push bartering with physical gold. Yes, bartering with Maples and such. That's odd enough to attract attention, and if nurtured properly it could turn edgy. Young libertarians might like the idea, particularly those who are Rothbardian.
But...it needs to be grown, and given care and feeding. I don't quite know how to grow trends, so here I stop.
its just well thought out and really fantastic to see someone who knows how to put these thoughts down so well. scottsdale periodontist
