Thats fair. It just seems to me that anyone who has purchased PM for whatever reason is attacked on these threads. They are belittled, called names, made fun of if they stick up for gold in any manner.
It depends on the reason for the purchase. If you bought gold because you thought it would go up and are not irrationally "married" to your position, that's an entirely defensible viewpoint.
If you use those phrases I listed above, then it's open season. If you insist that gold has to hit $1650 because.....then I'm going to belittle and make fun of you. If you say that deflation would be a good thing then I am going to ridicule your economic ignorance.
You think you got it rough, try being in favor of Free Silver.
I do not know if gold will go up or down in the short or long term. Just as I don't know if real estate or any other investment will.
Goldbugs and Gloomers are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN gold will go up, and real estate will go down. That arrogance annoys me.
