<prompt> Human: Hey guys.28 yo guy here. No debt. Currently with a high 5 figure income that should crest into 6 figures within 2 years.I invest 14 of my paycheck into my 401k, with an 8 match from my company. Its current value is at 32,000I live frugally, so my emergency fund is currently at 24,000, in my money market account. Its designed for a house downpayment, but as I live in the PNW, the market is rediculous. My question was about Gold Eagles.No, Im not a prepper, no, I dont think the market is falling. But I was wanting to use some of the capital Ive been diverting to my houseemergency fund after I hit 25k 3-5 and stockpile funds for an Eagle once or twice a year. Especially since the gold price is on the downturn against the dollar recently. I couldnt ever see me holding a position of more than 10 or 20 of the things, but I thought it might be nifty.What are your thoughts on the matter, or is the gold hype just some Alex Jones, Randian hype train?  <response>: if you want to make people like Glenn Beck rich, buy it up. Otherwise save it for jewelry.I had a colleague buy up food and gold. He asked me what I was doing for when the country fell apart. I told him I bought a gun and lots of ammo. He said, You gonna eat that ammo? I said, No, your stockpiled food. LOL
