During the dot-com bubble, you met lots of people with tech stocks. Taxi drivers told you what dot-coms they owned.

Now that's just silly. I can find as many cabbies who have gold today as had AOL in 1999. The idea that the average Joe held a fortune in tech stocks is just ridiculous and revisionist. The average Joe was benefiting from the dot com bubble through the (false) creation of jobs.

I do not know if gold is a bubble. If it is, I feel sorry for everyone waist deep in it. If it is not, I guess all the gold enthusiasts can get together and trade their gold like baseball cards, if there are so few of them.

In my honest opinion it is just silly to think that gold is in a bubble. The Dollar is in a bubble. The dollar will be lucky to have half its value in two years. If that holds true gold will be $3000 in two years.

I don’t know how they are doing it but somebody is manipulating the market. Silver was depressed at $50.00. I’m buying.

If the economy falls apart as the big O wants it to silver will be a good commodity to have to get other things when the dollar is worthless.

Eventually there will be a new dollar standard based on silver or gold or perhaps both, it would be good to have some of it now instead of converting old dollars into new.
