I dont think you understand that people in other countries do not have a welfare state. That people dont have children because they cannot afford them. That when you are old nobody will be there for you. People like me cannot rely on my own country. I have to find other ways to survive. I pay a uni pension but need a lot more service to get anything. That is why im careful. I never want be homeless again. It gives me the chill

There is nothing wrong with having a place to live. My attitude is i dont care about speculation. It can stay the same for all i care. I need a place to live. Of course i do a few things to not rely on savings and we both work bloody hard. We cover our own health insurance and have few other things on the go. People should. I worry to fuck and i aint even got kids. A man shoukd invest his heart takes him. I like gold.
Interesting, I have been thinking about silver. Gold and silver are not investments in the traditional sense in the US as they are not taxed as investments but actually fall into the collectable realm. I need to figure how that works. Gold has been coming down lately. Silver has so many industrial uses and I keep hearing about a shortage but I only here that from people trying to sell silver. The one fund I have that has done scary well is a biotech fund. So I'm doing some research before making some changes. I don't consider myself a highly skilled investor so I make sure my investments don't keep me up at night. I understood your comment about investment miles, it actually made sense. Anyway, Apple recently made the Dow Jones and att was taken off. That's kind of the pinnacle for a stock, don't know if that will start to slow it's growth.
