A SIMPLE QUESTION

[iaaems]

It has to be said that I am not wealthy by any standard, but I do try to keep up with the trend as it were.
The bit about having gold - I have seen this mentioned before and I think it is only mentioned as a type of 'insurance' should things get a bit wobbly around the edges. So as sensible folks spread the risk during their activities, ten per cent is mentioned.
So if your savings are, say, £100 then £10 should be in gold in some form or another. It would seem from my scant bit of research that the best form of this would be in coins that are legal currency - you escape tax and other complications apparently.
Just a thought.
