Anything more than that is mostly hype.

Even for the SHTF scenario that @Ian Ippolito eludes to, I think that booze and bullets would be a better hedge than Gold - and at least the prior has interim, medicinal utility while we're waiting...I hear the hype, I know folks that invest in Gold - I even own some, but perhaps I'm TOO practical - I just don't get Gold.Once you have it, how do you get rid of it?

I got my self so hyped up to finally take my first step into the real estate world that I was blind to the possibility of such a seemingly cut and dry loan being rejected.

We moved to the N Ft Worth area and bought a 1600 sq ft starter home that will be converted into a rental in another year.  

Thats where you can make a lot of money is to be at the right place before the hype starts.If you visit PGH anytime soon look me up.Warm regards

That phrase from @pmarca "Software is eating the world" gets a lot of hype around here, but there is a lot of truth in it.

Unfortunately he believed the hype that metals would just keep going up, and he made the wrong decision.

After being a third of the way through, I already understand what all the hype is about.

It appears that this hedge fund buy-up may be more hype than actuality.

The best way to start is to identify a piece of land for sale and listen to all the hype from the seller and realtor.
