Gold is recognizable in every country in the world. Our U.S. fighter pilots even carry British Sovereign gold coins in their survival kits, not dollars.
Gold is in the middle of a 20 year bull market. China is buying gold, India is buying gold, and investors are buying gold. There is maybe 3-5% of people who are actually invested in gold though.
The investing side of the gold market is pretty much untapped, but many investors are starting to take note of the rising price in gold.In 2001, the gold price was sitting at around $250/oz. Today the gold price is sitting at over $1,100/oz. A pretty nice gain if you ask me.
