Until now, that is! Thanks to the US Postal Service, everyone with as little as $9.00 can invest in a resource that will never drop in value. Invest in USPS First Class Forever stamps! Each book of 20 stamps costs $9.00, and will retain its value until the end of time.
This is just like gold, except that you don't have to have $1,700 laying around to invest in this timeless resource.
Stamps will hold their value forever, since advertisers are NEVER going to stop sending out those mailers that go from your mailbox strait into the trash bin (or recycling, if you're a hippie like me).
Now all of us lower- and middle-class citizen and illegal immigrants can invest in a reliable, long-term commodity, and keep the Federal Reserve from stealing the value out of our dollars! Buy your stamps today!
try spending them at the gas pump though
ReplyDeleteBetter than gold, since gold does occasionally drop in value.
ReplyDeleteActually gold never really drops in value. The price of gold represents how many dollars people are willing to trade for a given amount of gold. The value of dollars change in relation to the gold, especially when people are speculating about golds dollar value. But the hard commodities you can exchange gold for remain essentially unchanged.
DeleteThe best example of the unchanging value of gold is that 100 years ago an ounce of gold would buy you a really fine, high end business suit. Today an ounce of gold will still buy a really fine, high end business suit.
