"It’s a bit crass to worry about gold when so many Americans are worried about food and fuel if Romney doesn’t win."

I understand your point, but it's NOT wrong for people who have worked hard and done the right things over the years to want to protect their savings against inflation and/or financial collapse. None of that is their fault, after all.

[Utmost Certainty]

What an idiotic, short-sighted article.

In the event of a resurgent US economy, those who’ve wisely protected themselves with gold these past years could now stand to make even more money now by intelligently investing its growth.

Economics is not a zero-sum game.
