long-gone, thanks, I did. Also sent an email. Dear Power Lunch My vote is for gold. Why? All dollar denominated assets are in serious trouble ie US stocks, bonds and real estate. Meanwhile, the trend on the gold price, priced in dollars of course, is upwards. If you don't believe me, look at the pictures quotes.ino.com quotes.ino.com Regards Searle Sennett Johannesburg

I voted for DOW and S&P stocks. NOT. Sent the below message: My fiancee told her financial advisor at the beginning of the year that she wanted her portfilio placed into a conservative, defensive position. She is down 15% for the year. She asked about placing 10% in gold funds 7 weeks ago but was told this major investment firm handling her account had no gold fund. She was also informed that gold was too volatile to be a hedge against a falling stock market. Do these guys think that working people will continue to pay them to lose their money hand over fist while at the same time seemingly unaware of the few sectors that are gaining or at least holding their own?
