Hey Bubbs, be advised that I do not have a product. I do not work for a gold refinery, coin shop, pawn shop or gold retailer. I do not endorse or promote any retailers or their products and services. Furthermore, I do not control the prices they charge. If you have a problem with the prices that retailers and refineries charge, I suggest you bust their chops, not mine.
(If you think $70 - $80 is fiscal rape, try buying a 1 oz. Gold American Eagle coin from Goldline. Current gold price is $1649.90. Yet a retailer will charge you well over $2000 for that coin. How do you like them apples, Buttercup? I can’t give you a firm price because Goldline doesn’t list their prices. You have to call them for a quote.)
More importantly, I was simply responding back to a fellow FReeper’s question. The price of $55 per gram was accurate at the time of my posting. It’s not my fault that commodity and stock prices fluctuate every second of every minute of every day. The information I provided is readily available online from Goldline, Pampe Suisse, Credit Suisse, IAR, or Kitco.com. Complain to them about their prices. Or better yet, why not complain to the US Mint, US Treasury Dept, Wall Street, George Soros, or the billions of Chinese and Indians that are gold crazy. They are the ones driving the parabolic rise in gold prices.
I hope that clarifies things for you.
Have a pleasant evening.

I suspect your testiness on the subje3ct has more to do with your situation than it does with trends and predictions about the prices of precious metals. You seem angry.
