That's a sobering figure to see in real life.

I can't deny I've got very mixed feelings about Au running well (and possibly well, well) north of $1k.

I know I'm not alone in feeling somewhat proud of myself for seeing the signs and protecting myself from "whatever" we fear with metals as an insurance policy.

But nobody (well, almost nobody) buys house insurance hoping their home goes up in flames. Nobody buys car insurance and gets excited by a high speed collision.

I hope our leaders have the strength and wisdom to get us back on track soon.

    i just see this as a lot of funds and etc.. are piling right in making
    a momentum play. as folks see it go up they want some action also.

    what i am more curious about is that the people who bought gold
    for an investment.. when do they plan to start selling???

    Eventually gold will peak and I am curious who sells at the top! time
    will tell so it will be fun to watch.

    i wonder if the same thing will take place as it did a few decades ago.
    Everyone will say go is going to the moon, it makes a heck of a run,
    then drops back down to saner levels never reaching that peak again
    for years. Most without a goal just keep on holding as it slides back
    down.

    what is that peak though, what is a person's goal, is the question
    in my mind.

    When gold is done with this leg which may go higher than most think...like the Dow since March, there should be a drop to support which will be close to what was recently resistance.

  • The timing to sell is easy.

    You trade your gold into dollars when you decide that the dollars have a better future value potential.

    Anyone think thats now?

    Yup. Dollars pays the mortgage, owning gold just make the wife grumpy about the bank account being empty... image

    My core position won't start being let go until it's well over $2,000. Watch what the metals do from November to April, that will be exciting and mind-numbing to the fiat bugs.

    Eventually gold will peak and I am curious who sells at the top! time will tell so it will be fun to watch.

    Better pull out a chair, grab a few kegs and relax, because it's a few years away.

    I believe that several governments and their central banks are the biggest gold purchasers and they want physical delivery, so whatever the little guy does or the paper pushers won't matter much.

  • crop land i should say no fuss no muss !!!
    just a check every three year recheck
    anyone else ??
  • I think it's to dangerous to time the top. When the gold and silver bought doubles then sell. Keep the original $ plus x %. Put the remainder back into
    PMs. My choice for dirt is timbered land; if the price of lumber is down, let it grow 5 or 10 more years. Second choice for dirt is undeveloped lake or river front.

    Don't you have to pay real estate taxes on property?

    "me i just like to ride lol!!"

    Well said.

    "i have thought about i'll i'll buy dirt when i sell"

    That's what I'm doing with mine. It would be great to turn a few years of casual accumulation into a flip for a few acres of dirt in a quiet little spot away from the city.
  • You haven't bought any PMs after $300 gold and $4 silver?
    I'm not selling everything at once, at one price. It's more like moving up a ladder. Take some profit and put it into something else, another PM such as Pall or a different currency than dollars. What remains after the profit can go right back into gold or silver. There's nothing like playing with "the house money".
    What did they call it during the internet bubble, a new something or other. Eventually that one burst and a lot of people were hurt, really hurt.
    In PMs this has yet to reach bubble status, so there's plenty of time to play.
    I'll stay in the game, but not to try to time the top. There's nothing wrong with taking a profit to make more profit.

  • I dunno, I'm thinking about selling out very, very, soon. Originally 20% of my liquid assets were in PM or related stuff, now it's more like 70%. That can't be healthy.

  • Could take the original 20% plus inflation and now play with the house money.

  • What do I do with the cash? Pay off the mortgage? But if inflation is going through the roof, a low-interest mortgage is an asset.

    I paid off my house & 9 acres in the BOONIES/bf Egypt in 2000. Best feeling in the world! IMHO!!!

  • In the past a low-interest mortgage was an asset, as long as a person was able to make the low interest payments. Everyones situation is different. I agree with gsa1fan, not having a mortgage is a great feeling in uncertain times. I should always be able to pay the taxes so no matter what happens my home will never go into foreclosure. I only do what I'm comfortable with.

  • Damn, that's something I hate to read (living around 80 miles from Detroit). It's not just the low income; two friends with different businesses went under after 20-30 years, another having to shortsell his $750k home because the company he worked for went under. Not signs of good times, and I fear it's going to get worse.
