One of the great things about owning gold is that anyone can do it from virtually anywhere in the world. It certainly has a democratizing impact on protecting one’s wealth . . . .

If winning the Power Ball is ever in your fortune, don’t forget to invest at least 10% of that into gold, but make sure to store it in different countries, as government confiscation of the bullion is never completely out of the realm of possibilities, advises financial commentator Jim Cramer in his latest post . . . .
