When the gold market crashes, will Barry be there to offer a bailout? /sarcasm

“People used to laugh at me for buying gold. They don’t anymore.”

I strongly believe in the value of gold. But people might be laughing again if Obama's Gestapo comes to confiscate his gold.

Know what’s great about gold? Really hard to make more of it.

If you have gold and want food, the gold is only worth something if the person with food is willing to trade what they have for your gold.

That is also true of paper money and credit.

re: Gold’s tangible quality is reassuring to its owners. Gold owner Richard Dempsey, 63, a vice-president at Bank of New York Mellon, keeps some of his 60 gold coins in a safe at his Point Pleasant, N.J., home and some in a safe-deposit box. “I like to know it’s there,” he says)))

ARGH. ARe these people crazy? Why not add a google map and a "please rob me" sign???

As for the S&P 500, its average 1969 value is right around 100, which, when compared to today's 885 level produces an annual gain of about 7.5 percent.

Very deceptive because the annual gain of 7.5% for the S & P 500 Index does not include reinvested dividends and the annual return for gold does not include the high cost of buying and selling the commodity.
