I was surprised to find out that a good friend of mine recently invested on a food stall in one of the leading supermarkets in the city. It has been in his plans for so long and I was pleasantly surprised that he was able to do it finally. I asked him how he was able to save up for it given the economy that we have and he answered that he invested in gold coins. I was about to brush him off and ask him if he was joking when he told me it was true, and that I should be buying from the US Bureau already. Gold is a good investment because demand for it is high and even from years back it has never depreciated.
