    Have to say I am glad I got a pile of gold coins in my grandfathers will back in the early 90. a few dozen 1 oz Krugerands are suddenly alot more interesting to me.

It doesn't change the fact that reducing or eliminating deficit spending during times of economic hardship is simply going to make things worse.
    My argument is it seems like there is never a 'good time' to reduce the deficit because there always seems to be some expert out there who everyone at the time listens to who says now is the wrong time to reduce the deficit. That and Congress is full of jackasses.

    They were saying that when I first got into gold.... now it's at 1700 an ounce.

    If it does pop, that means we got our fiscal house in order. I don't see that anytime soon.

    I'm assuming you're talking about ETFs, and not the actual metal itself and/or mining companies?

    And anyone who didn't see at least a 3% drop coming needs to pay more attention to the European/Asian markets. No way the US markets were going to survive Monday when the Athens Exchange is down 7% before NYSE even opens. I wouldn't be surprised if it drops another 2-3% tomorrow.

    And gold is good for a long, long while, along with silver.
