Remember when we spoke of GOLD? I told you gold would, in long term, hit $3k per ounce? Well, read this:

Thanks NB. Very interesting article. Explains alot.
Brings me to a couple of questions.
The #1 gold ETF? Would that be GLD?
and
How does one invest in a foreign exchange using foreign currency? I have no doubt that the USD is truly "funny money" which is eventually doomed to be exposed.
Since many of us are doing our big investments through our places of employment and in 401K/403B's, buying large chunks of the actual metal won't work. It has to be some sort of stock/fund/etf. (am I wrong?)
What foreign currency do you think is the most stable over the long run?
Thanks again for so much help."Whatever you can do or dream you can , begin it. Boldness has genius,power and magic in it." Goethe

Your best bet would be GLD. That is the gold ETF. I don't think it is necessary to trade foreign currency on a foreign exchange. You can buy any currency you want right here on our own exchanges with our own currency.
At $65 I think the gold ETF might be a decent entry as it has already gone above $70. Gold trades at 10 times more than what the ETF trades at. If gold is trading at $650 then GLD would be trading at $65.00. The ETF is like holding a basket of the best known gold stocks. I think the ETF is a great way to participate in gold yet be safe to a larger degree.THE SKIRACER'S EDGE: MAKE THE EDGE IN YOUR FAVOR

It's a bummer to have to worry about not only the falling of your holdings, but the falling of the currency in which you hold them as well. (once again, thoughts of my sainted polish grammy come to mind with stories of worthless paper once Tsar Nicholas was overthrown. Actually, she was White Russian, part of who's territory later became Poland, which is why she was holding the money as well as a picture of the Tzar and his family. just another tidbid of information about NSL's background)Last edited by noshadyldy; 05-20-2006, 12:48 PM."Whatever you can do or dream you can , begin it.

The easiest way to invest in a foreign exchange using foreign money is to move to a foreign country. The next easiest way is to open an account with a brokerage firm in a foreign country...but be prepared for a sudden "interest" in you by federal authorities.

Originally posted by noshadyldyThanks Ski, but i'm still missing something. If I trade currency, great, I now have euros or whatever. But can I trade in them? If not, I'm holding for example GLD for 5K USD that may be devalued daily or at some point, dramatically fall. Can I hold GLD (or whatever) in a foreign currency?
