But I thought gold was the only way to really store value? I heard that an ounce of gold has always bought a decent suit. (smirk)

Gold is good as a hedge against inflation, not as a long term investment. Even if our monetary system collapsed gold will still have value.

Shhh! Gold is magic! How dare you subject it to critical analysis like other lowly commodities!

The impending crash of gold will be an excellent buying opportunity, allowing maximum profit when it goes to $10,000 an ounce!

It can't be about to crash. I hear all those commercials Michael Savage does for Swiss America Trading!

Not as much value as guns and gasoline.

Gold going up? BUY GOLD!

Gold going down? BUY MORE GOLD!

(Thus endeth the Swiss America Trading impersonation)

One of my neighbors was buying gold at the last peak.

I was selling.

Guess who made a profit?

Fiat money lover! Dollars will be worthless.

You must measure the value of gold versus useful things. Like packs of smokes and bottles of Jack Daniels.

Numismatic Gold...is always good stuff, if one is a coin collector.

Bullion coins are for playing the commodities game.

Gold may stay at these levels, it may go higher, it may go lower, as long as one tracks their investment...they'll be okay.

If the monetary system ever collapses, which is pretty extreme, I'd be worried about a lot more things thing than just the gold in my portfolio.

OK.

When all the pro's are saying "BUY GOLD NOW!" in these pushy commercials This means 1 and 1 thing only:

Gold (or whatever they are screaming about) is getting ready to peak and then tank, and these schmucks are looking to dump their positions on unsuspecting, gullible saps looking to make a fast buck.

When I hear these "BUY GOLD NOW!" commercials, I would Run, not walk but Run in the opposite direction.

"Gold at $2,000?" queries the headline on one of my favorite on-line investing sites.

Could the author also be using newspundit.net for his financial news and information? Like us, he must appreciate their no nonsense hard hitting journalism and their detailed and objective financial analysis.
