Update: Due to 2 of my choices’ share price are less than 20 cents (1 of them being the unstated new Big Idea), they are not part of the stock list. Heck, no. Only that investing in all of one thing, particularly one thing that has already shot up in value based on fear and greed which makes no sense at all is probably a bad idea. Can you describe the business idea in 25 words or less? 1700 an ounce represents a 340% markup – a hefty one in any business. 1000 an ounce.

For example, if you want the money in less than five years to save for a down payment on a house or a vacation, you should keep it in very safe investments, like a money market account. 266,666 (the mark of the beast!) – a 166% gain over five years, or about 33% per year. Yet, millions of ounces are mined every year. 2014 might be the year of the panic sell-off in gold. You might think the economy is in the tank, if you watch television.
