Should I buy gold today?

I'm going to a show today, and I've got enough cash to buy some generic world gold. I WAS going to wait until the big Denver show in April to buy, but gold has taken such a dip now...think I might as well get what I can while the price is low?

Ha, exactly...I don't. That's why I feel like today is my lucky day. :-)

The one thing you need to do when the price of something is down, is to buy it

Good luck!

Buy gold only if you want to hold on to it for a few years! If you want to sell it in a few weeks... its risky (like anything else!)

The market should go a bit lower this next week, being a holiday week, no shocks in the system about the economy. But if Israel invades Lebanon during the first week of April, you will see gold shoot through the roof. Don't laugh, this chatter is running rampant all over the Middle East right now.

Why don't you buy gold when it goes on sale? You buy everything else when it goes on sale right?

Would self defense and self preservation be considered an "invasion?

All things considered, I'd buy silver before gold at today's prices.
