Carolina, Chapel Hill Lines: 21 Given the possibility of another recession in future, the idea of investing in gold comes to mind. I have always dealt with stocks et al. in the past and know next to nothing about gold as an investment. I have the following questions: 1) Is this a good time to buy gold? (or is any time a good time for that matter?) 2) Coins, bars, stock, funds, etc.? 3) Should I take delivery? 4) From whom should I buy - mail-order houses, coin dealers, brokers, etc.? 5) etc. (Please insert any question(s) which I should be asking.) It is possible that this discussion has previously been dealt with on the net. If so, could someone mail me the canonical set of responses? That way, the rest of you won't have to deal with the subject again. Thanks in advance - dvb
