>>The story of the lady cashing in her mutual funds to buy bullion scares me.<<

Scares you? Why?

Because its a woman? Because she's mature?

Why do we assume that a mature woman must be ignorant or stupid? She sounds pretty smart to me - or has had excellent advice - if she's moved her money out of the stock market.

Ken,

<< When I see sophisticated investors exchanging dollars for gold, then I will know that there is a great deal of substance to this move. >>

Kindly detail who the unsophisticated buyers are now - 200,000 dollars worth of gold bought by one lady is hardly what's driving the rally, nor is it a particularly robust sample set.
