Just looking for opinions. We may buy more if it stays below our average buy price line.

Since gold is at record levels already (and slid last week) it's probably not a good time to invest. I would sell what you have and wait until mid-Fall or so to re-invest in a mutual fund.

Your profit margin when gold is so high is very likely going to be too low to justify the risk of investing right now.

I think that if it gets bad with Iran, and the Russians and Venezuela begin to sell oil based on Euros, gold could go through the roof. Over $1200 is realistic.
I am certainly going to keep what we have now. I am leaning towards holding off on many more purchases. But I may change my mind. I really have many concerns with foreign countries doing anything they can to undermine us.
I have worked for my money all of my life. And I have socked away much of it. I have never let it work for me. Our broker wh manages our IRA's and mutual funds really doesn't like me buying gold. But I am not sure if I trust his motivations. And he poo poo's my fears of political or terrorist turmoil.
So any courteous advice from folks who have is welcomed.
