Should You Be Selling Gold?



Mr Market has been in manic form over the past month, desperately gloomy one day, smiling brightly the next.  Plunging and rising 4 to 5% a day and that turmoil eats you alive.

With gold prices ascending at record high, looks like investors are leveraging precious metals as a hatch against the volatile market situation. Cash is always king in a recession and this probably provides the perfect timing for the emergence of - Jewel Cafe from Japan
.



I got given a leaflet today and that was how I discovered Jewel Cafe - which specialises in purchasing second-hand jewelry from individuals.  They seem keen to take in any used jewelry from curve chains, coins to diamond pieces which you no longer want.   They have over 250 stores throughout Japan and have recently invaded Hong Kong with 9. 



If you were thinking to put those away anyway, because they are so old and tarnished and rather useless?  Think again.  



You might want to consider bringing them for a free evaluation and who knows, you might be in for a pleasant surprise.
