The frenzy surrounding gold and silver has dominated recent financial headlines. Clark explains the role of these commodities as hedges vs. investments and discusses how much (or little) you should own, and the best way to buy & sell.  Also today - do big price tags equal great quality when it comes to appliances? Clark breaks down why "designer" features often mean more points of failure and why the most effective tools are simply made to last,  and do one job well.
