Gold will stop rising when fiat currencies stop devaluing.
I can sleep pretty well at nights now, and might put more in as the dollar falls.
Gold has historically provided access to females - the ultimate Darwinian utility.

Soros Gold Bubble Expanding as ETP Holdings Increase
Golds 23 percent surge this year to a record is proving no deterrent to George Soros, John Paulson and Paul Touradji, whose investments signal more gains for the longest winning streak in at least nine decades.
Securities and Exchange Commission filings this month by Soros Fund Management LLC, Paulson & Co. and Touradji Capital Management LP listed investments in gold as their biggest holdings. Exchange-traded products own 2,088 metric tons, equal to nine years of U.S. mine supply, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Precious metals will produce the best commodity returns in the next year, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a Nov. 9 report.
The purchases show how investors are snapping up hard assets as governments and central banks led by the Federal Reserve pump more than $2 trillion into the world financial system. Gold in exchange-traded products, as much as half of which may be held by individual investors according to BlackRock Inc., is equal to more bullion than the official reserves of every country except the U.S., Germany, Italy and France.
People who are selling gold here are making a big mistake, said Michael Pento, a senior economist at Euro Pacific Capital Inc. in New York who correctly predicted golds highs the past two years. The gold bull market will end when real interest rates become positive and were very far away from that. The Fed believes its going to have to print more money to keep real interest rates from rising and rescue the economy.

I thought we were at the top at $800 LoL

Make some profit on the stock market.
“Gold will stop rising when fiat currencies stop devaluing.”
Straight-out FACT in less than 10 words. Thank you.
As long as there are diamonds mounted on it.
We held onto Lucent stock as it reached $79
There are lessons to be learned from trying to time the market.
RE: I thought we were at the top at $800 LoL
According to the Inflation Calculator website:
http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi
What cost $800 in 1985 would cost $1573.97 in 2009.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2009 and 1985, they would cost you $800 and $390.92 respectively.
Gold is just adjusting to inflation.

RE: There are lessons to be learned from trying to time the market.
If you own Gold ETF’s and now on the money and significantly so, and you’re nervous about a repeat of Lucent, you can always put a sell limit on the ETF.
Say, you bought Gold ETF (GLD) at $800 and it is now way over $1300, why not put a sell order that triggers if it drops to say $1200?, You’re still on the money (way ahead) by doing that. That’s one way to control downside risk.
Just thinking allowed...
