This had been pretty good, when you get down to a real discussion. I've
always wondered about gold. buying gold. a reletive of min has some
gold. actually over the years of collecting, he's got a pretty good
stash, like maybe a 10 troy pounds. He has stated that gold is a great
investment, and I've kind of been reserved about it. because he says
when all else fails you always have gold. OK, my arguement is that if
all else fails (economy?) then gold will fail too. After all, you can't
eat it. I mean, if you're starving, then what is worth more to you? 5
chickens? or an ounce of gold?

Doug, you got any thoughts on buying and selling gold?
THANKS!

Tim



For some thoughts on buying gold, as a last ditch hedge, read the article
in the link below. The article is a little long, but interesting as hell.
It was provided by Eisboch, I think.

I'm thinking of buying a small horse and a lot of canned goods!
