Chris, I appreciate your advice tremendously. It is nice to get the sophisticated opinion you offer. As an average investor, I can only go by the tools presented to me by a few different resources. I see that gold (gray ) has been increasing in value, paralleling prime (blue) and oil (brown). The aberration in the 80’s was due, I believe, to a falling dollar. Now with the problem we foresee with real estate, China and the deficit don’t you foresee that the same psychology will apply in the next year or so. Of course maybe the price will fall a bit, but drop >150 after 574? Would you give me some more feedback on this? – Thanks [img_assist|nid=1259| title=gold chart|link=node|align=left|width=400|height=250]
