I was going to do something similar with gold in early 2005. In hindsight I should have done it. I believe you can do it again in june/july without resorting to credit cards. As soon as gold hits $1000, I predict sometime this summer. Buy as much as you can afford to,doesn’t really matter how you hold it. As soon as it hits $1500,sometime before the years end,sell it. Who would turn down 50% in times like this. Anyway I won’t be doing it as I just “invested” in a house so good luck to those that still have cash! The trick is to not be greedy and have a predetermined sell point, and know that you don’t need the money for day to day expenses.
