it's a good time to buy a metal detector. just a few nugets will pay for it.. wish they had gold here. i would buy one. could allways look for jewelery..
the way things are going it might not be a bad idea to trade dollars for gold bullion. onething about gold is it's universal money works in every country.
Isn't the gold market subject to bubbles like any other commodity or good? I mean, isn't gold rising in part simply because more people are buying it for reasons of investment? This sounds strangely familiar.

Yup.
I'm an old fart and I've seen it before. I knew someone who jumped on the gold bandwagon back in the late 1970's and was REALLY burned when gold prices collapsed suddenly. He ended up putting a bullet in his head (not purely because of his huge financial setback, but partially so). Gold is one of those bubble items that can drop very very quickly. Right now it's on an uptick - but it won't stay that way. I don't know WHEN it will collapse, but it WILL collapse - that's the nature of such bubbles. Over the long run gold has historically not been a very good investment.
