Quote from lrm21:
The fact everyone is talking up gold is a sign.
However, it also means its probably going to run a bit.
There is a great analyisis online, i am going to dig it up.
Which shows that gold is a terrible investment over time.
And its a poor inflation hedge versus other items.
Its only good when you buy and sell at the right time.
When I find it I will post in a seperate thread.
I think 5%-10% gold is more than enough. If you anticipate a currency collapse, like Argetina then the better hedge it to get
your money out of that currency period and out of that country.
Also, there is enormous supply because of the slack demand from heavy gold consuming countries like India.
But in times like this its the 3G'conomics
-Gold, Guns, and God!
