Some other recent articles I read that may be of interest in light of the recent upswing after the summer lulls: If Gold's not at $1,500 and $2,000 in the next 18 months, I'm dead wrong - Embry China announces plans to further develop domestic gold market Beware the Dragon's gold teeth ...this last one is particularly an Op-Ed piece
Nice stuff Krispy. $1500-2000 is ok in my book. My question now will be so if we do get those numbers within the next 18 months now what? Do they continue to climb or hold steady for years, or drop back down? Of course no one can answer that, just something circling in my head. It's probably safe to say gold's floor is around $1150 as I have yet to see it go that low in a long time now. I was never convinced the floor was $1200 even when we were peaking around $1260'ish...but I think $1150 is a good bet... I've stopped watching youtube vids now on silver/gold as it's the same story anyways. Plus they are preaching to the choir. Coming here, and reading a couple of articles here and there are good enough for me.....in a couple months it will be my 1 year anniversary of jumping into PM's! Time flies!!!!
Wasn't it Jefferson (or one of the founding fathers) who echoed the sentiment that, only land and gold could be considered as 'real' property?

I'll wager it's "Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco better known as Charice. A Filipina singer who rose to popularity through YouTube.
