Stephen Leeb, is author of China’s Rise and the New Age of Gold. He says that gold’s rise is just beginning. He thinks all investors, and younger Americans in particular, need to invest in gold to protect themselves against a falling dollar and a radically changing world economy. We spoke about:

What’s a commodity?

Why do developing countries need commodities?

How to buy gold – miners, ETFs or bullion.

What’s special about gold?

Why is the economic power of the US in jeopardy?

"Most of all the gold that this earth has inherited has already been mined and one remarkable statistic about gold is that whatever has been mined is probably still with us, it's not consumed, other commodities things that you touch, like copper like even silver, zinc, lead oil l is consumed, gold is not consumed."
