    john, if you read anything besides anonymous real estate blogs you would realize that gold is far more likely to be re-valued upwards

    the US gold is held on the Fed’s books at a value of $42/oz – for them to balance their current books against all the worthless paper they have taken on, all they would have to do is revalue gold at $6000/oz and the books are balanced

    you are also being intentionally deceptive (or maybe just uninformed) – gold was revalued from $20/oz to $35/oz – that’s over 60% INCREASE in price

    human beings have been choosing gold for at least 5000 years and are currently doing so in spades – that is why gold is at or near all time highs in most currencies

    Chris: Why is what TG said hogwash? I’ve done firearm instruction in both the military and civilian life and it’s commonsensical: The more rounds you put through a weapon, the more proficient with it you’ll become.

    Obviously, access to a live fire MOUT (military operations urban terrain) facility would be ideal in teaching someone how to use a weapon, but we know its also unrealistic.

    For nearly everyone involved in a shooting, the noise and recoil can be overwhelming. For that reason, always try to shoot the type of round you’ll be using in an actual situation. Meaning, if you own a .357 Mag and plan on shooting magnum ammo, don’t exclusively use .38 Special when you target shoot. Instead become familiar with .357 ammo on the range. If you have the chance, go to an unsupervised outdoor shooting area and fire the weapon without hearing and eye protection to simulate the actual conditions of a shootout.

    For anyone that’s actually been in a firefight, the noise is unbelievable, and all of your actions are driven by muscle memory. The How and Why of training thus becomes of primary importance.

    Out of curiosity, why do so many real estate bears feel that gold at 3x its 2001 price is a great investment, while real estate at 1.5x its 2001 price will continue to decline?
