I think you shouldn’t cash іt іn unlеsѕ уоu absolutely nеed it. That's the main reason for saving in gold; hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, etc etc etc - view the presentation -- Why Invest in Gold -- http://bit.ly/kSi6I0

Here, an interesting piece of news. Even Donald Trump prefers physical gold bullion to cash/paper currency.

Trump’s New Gold Standard



In the latest development in the growing surge of support for a return to some form of gold standard, Donald Trump has decided to accept gold bullion as a deposit on a commercial lease. This follows a news story we reported on earlier this year when Utah became the first state to legalize gold and silver coins as currency.

On Thursday, the newest tenant in Donald Trump’s 40 Wall Street, a 70-story skyscraper in Manhattan’s Financial District, will hand Mr. Trump a security deposit worth about $176,000. No money will change hands—just three 32-ounce bars of gold.

The occasion will mark the first time the Trump Organization has accepted 99.9% pure gold bullion, rather than cash, as a deposit on a commercial lease.

The tenant, precious-metals dealer Apmex, will sign a 10-year lease for 40 Wall’s 50th floor at a leasing rate of about $50 a square foot, according to Apmex Chief Executive Michael R. Haynes. The company is promoting the use of gold as a replacement for cash in some situations.

Me. Not a "player", a long-term investor who believes in holding PHYSICAL GOLD to hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.

Here, read 10 Reasons to Buy Gold
“GOLD cannot be printed or subject to some (mis)interpretation of accounting rules. Neither is it subject to bankruptcy of banks or governments. The physical is not subject to the rules and subversion of exchanges, regulators, ratings agencies or clearing systems … Money is a serious business, and GOLD IS MONEY.” Learn more at http://wp.me/p1nT6G-ts

BTW, come listen to this Talk by Dato' Philip Lim. -- One of the topics include Why Buy Physical Gold. TONIGHT at 8.00PM-10.30PM at Level 10, Maju Tower, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. It's next door to Maju Junction Mall. Some LYN forumers are attending too.

Cheers and have a great day!
