Like most people who have a 401k or other retirement investment, I don’t pay as much attention to it as I should. Part of me thinks that’s a good thing; the people who take care of it probably know a lot more about finances than I do. Still, whenever I hear of a stock that’s doing well or some other great investment, I always wonder if I should do something about it.
When I read recently about the skyrocketing price of gold amid a worldwide diamond, that was something I could handle, and decided it was time to get some cash for gold.
The article said that now was the best time for people looking to sell gold for cash. Overseas economies, especially China’s, are creating a huge new middle class, and combined with the rebounding economy here, it was no wonder so many companies were advertising “sell your gold” services. The article pointed out that China’s economy, one of the largest in the world, was getting ready to cool down, and when it did, many experts agree gold prices would cool down with it.
I collected all of the gold jewelry I was no longer wearing and went to the local jewelry store. Fifteen minutes after I walked in I was walking back out with, quite honestly, a ridiculously large amount of cash for gold. At home I checked and even though I only kept a few receipts, those that I did find told me I more than tripled my original investment. I don’t know if that qualifies me to trade on Wall Street, but it did make me feel pretty good about myself.
