Even the lord messiah obama says that the dollar is in big trouble, which will lift gold prices. And since members of government care more about being re-elected than the fiscal stability of our country, the printing presses will be running overtime (thus driving gold up).<br /><br />For those that say "you can't eat gold," gold has been around for thousands of years as the preferred medium of exchange. I don't believe our "higher state of enlightenment" is going to change anything. Gold will always be valuable as a means to purchase necessities. If joe-blow in the USA doesn't want to buy gold, then I'm sure China, Russia, Mexico, Canada, etc. will be happy to take it off our hands for food or clothing.<br /><br />In short, those that believe gold is overpriced are just wishful thinking...it's probably under valued based on what a dollar is worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-22714545123989257632010-10-07T15:32:56.476-07:002010-10-07T15:32:56.476-07:00Buchanan Libertys are being made to order in batch...Buchanan Libertys are being made to order in batches.
