I understand that Jaguar has been fear mongering for her Karetbars business opportunity but the sad truth is that the U.S Dollar is practically worthless because it is no longer on the Gold Standard. Because of this, the government is able to print an unlimited amount of currency making the dollar bill worth much less than it is causing rapid inflation.
People complain about gas prices going up but in reality, they have gone down. Simply put, the price tag on barrels of oil reflect the "assumed value" that the Arab Nations give to our dollar....otherwise barrels would be only 10 bucks a barrel as it used to be almost 10 years ago.
The best thing to do is to invest in solid commodities....gold, silver, land, renewable resources etc. However, when buying gold and precious metals, its best to buy any coins at the absolute lowest value to the real amount of gold.....in other words, worry more about the "actual gold" in an item than the design.
