Investment in GLD and SLV
Laurie,
 
Nice write up. Now if only it would convince clubs not to invest in these entities.

Some of you have wondered why we recommend against you investing in the commodity ETFs GLD and SLV in your investment clubs.

For your information, I've attached a sheet of instructions for the accounting and tax reporting issues you will need to handle if you do so.  Because these are considered investments directly in gold and silver bullion they come with unique tax issues.  You will have a lot of extra work to do to make sure your accounting records get updated correctly and your tax reporting is done correctly.

Thanks Ira! I'm hoping that if treasurers can show the specifics of what is required to their other club members, they'll be able to use it to help convince them this is not a road they want to go down.
