My post was more hypothetical, and pointing to security of assets rather than short term profits to be had from current gold speculation. I do know Rich and am aware of his views, and have myself been well invested in gold for some time. However, for those seeking a little more stability and security, bricks and mortar, even if still on a depreciating curve, has one fundamental benefit over everything else, you can live in it. I don’t think the time has been reached yet for many of us, but is got pretty close to at least considering it over the last few days, driven less my prices and more by financial anarchy.
