I can remember a time when it was 1/3 of what it is today, too -- but I can also remember $10 / barrel oil. The joy of gold (in coins), though, is if the entire system collapses, it's still going to be usable as currency. At least, that's my thinking. Not sure what I could do with a barrel of oil. :> Hmmm…. dunno. I can remember a time when it was 1/3 of what it is today, too — but I can also remember $10 / barrel oil.

($650+($650 x 0.50))=$975 Or even make it up to $1100? Personally I expect it to drop back down to $300-$450 over the next year to 18 months.

An ounce of gold doesn't take up much space. Plus gold is outperforming oil having gone up 300$ an ounce <a href="http://www.kitco.com/LFgif/au0365nyb.gif" rel="nofollow">over the past year.</a> There’s also the matter of storage.

Who would have thought that all those rappers with the gold bling were actually making a wise investment? At the same time, now is not the time to invest in gold. Currently gold is costing way too much. Buy a 55gal drum of oil and sit on it. There is a real demand for oil, unlike gold. And then when we are paying $5/ gallon for gas, sell. Take the profits and fill your SUV's tank. OK, when did you start the political coverage again, and why didn’t anyone tell me?
