Why Gold?
Gold is an item that has a hold over many of us. For thousands of years it has been the benchmark of richness. Thousands have died fighting over its possession.

In the modern world however, it is something that is much more within our grasp, as the ability to buy gold and sell gold, and the wealth of gold bullion are something which are much closer to the grasp of small investors.
