I think you'd be a dope to buy gold right now. The price of gold is quite high right now, and I agree that it will most likely rise a bit more in price, but before too long the price of gold is going to drop and if you bought it at a high price you are screwed. The tv ad that states "gold has never been worth nothing" is telling the truth but he also doesn't tell you that it's a different price nearly everyday. What goes up, must come down! It's not a good investment for me right now. I'm not that brave, or I should say, stupid. Doesn't it strike you odd that there are so many ads for gold on tv and the radio right now? If it was such a sweetheart buy, it would be more secretive and less of it available to sell. I'm not telling you not to buy gold if you want to but I will tell you to beware!
