Gold has not caught up with its March 2008 highs of over $1,000. $943 is not an all-time high. The best part is, gold would have to be $2500 just to match its 1980 price of $850 in inflation-adjusted dollars!

Inflation coming, anyone?

For a lot of folks wanting to get in the Gold market , a better choice at this time , is invest in the miners
Look for Companies that have strong gold reserves. , that are producing , and do not have a huge debt.
Advice is everywhere , once you start looking , do your own due diligence , like any other commodity.

You know what's funny? In 3-5 years we are all going to be hanging around this board and somebody will post a very similar graph but the title will be "How bout that S&P500?"

I'm not trashing gold (other than it might not be a suitable buy right now)...but just pointing out what everybody has been hinting at. Are you positioned now to where you want to be in 3-5 years? Or even longer?
