A. Long term investment considerations: 20%

GDXJ (Van Eck Jr Gold Mining) ETF . . .
If your grandparents were thoughtful
enough to provide you with funds to
become actively involved in the
trading/investing world, communicate
with them on a regular basis in order to
compare their point of view/insight with
other reliable sources . . . including
those reflected on Online School @

Be open/flexible, resourceful, and
pursue due diligence (research). Best of
luck.
