To put part of your money into gold is not unwise nowadays. The downside is not too steep; upside in a Y2k turmoil might make it a good investment. Also, no worries on banking closures.

John,

You make a good point.

I'm certainly not against putting some assets into gold so long as you can feel somewhat confident that its downtrend has shown substantial signs of bottoming out. I think the argument could be made that we're seeing bottoming at these levels, minus selling by CBs into the open markets.

But a stabilized market doesn't make anyone money. It just maintains the value of that wealth. So in the meantime, many people are looking to see where else they can make a little profit, while watching the price of gold for signs of financial problems.

I consider myself one of the latter. But I remain mindful that CBs basically hold all the cards when it comes to the ultimate price of that shiny metal.

Regards,

Ron
