Gold prices (and the CRB) are telling me that bond prices are about to collapse. IOW, sell bonds until you puke or puke until you sell bonds.

You may well be right. I'm speaking only in terms of long term strategies. In the long term, bonds are both safer and better yielding than gold.

Hmm, do I want gold or Enron, World Com, Global Crossing or hundreds of other failed stocks in the last hundred years.

I am not defending gold, only pointing out investing is not a static endeavor.
