if 100k is neither here nor there then why did you only put in 18k? exposed much fool==========
Because at the time I had 4 other mutual funds, 3 houses and a couple of factories.
I sold most of it off, paid off debt and that's why I have $3.3m in the bank. I still own 2 unencumbered houses, one a renter (which I built for $140k) which brings in a handy $600 per week.
How much rent do you get from those bits of gold?
