People aren't stupid.

They seek a safe haven.

From many perspectives, GOLD is it.

Problem is, gold is so danged high if one is not significantly in (it) by this time, it may well be a bit too late. (not necessarily the wisest idea to rush where everyone is rushing at the same time).....

Pre-packaged brass/lead/copper "precious metals" are close to pre-Obamacolypse prices and supply levels.

Trumps gold all day long in a SHTF world.

A lot of people are going to be very disappointed when they discover more gold is being sold than exists.

My Wal-Mart's shelves are finally getting stocked somewhat, altho at much higher prices than before Buckwheat. My Big Max A4 has a lot more usefullness left in it.

I have this lingering feeling that the next great scam to be unveiled to the world is that all the precious-metal mutual funds and ETFs are managed by these two guys:

Holy Crap indeed- There are 357.142 grains in a Troy Ounce. That means a grain of gold is selling for $4.956 per GRAIN. A standard aspirin weighs 5 grains.

Sorry, those numbers are wrong. I think that it’s a lot worse than that.

“...gold is so danged high..”

With silver “flat” and back under $40.00 I will be buying Ag with both hands this week. IMO, silver is heading to $70+ within 3 months and will produce a much better profit than gold at this point.

Just my take on things.

Does that mean gold bars are not made of gold?

Whatever. That's what all perennial gloomsters were saying about the dot.com stocks in the 1990s. And how did that advice turn out?

Let me guess. You're bearish on Dutch tulips too?

Are you talking physical Ag, or are you confident that the “paper” MFs and ETFs are not, shall we say, oversubscribed?
