<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JoeSmith, post: 746198, member: 18021&quot;]Hmmm, I bought most of mine for about $320, and I still have it.&nbsp; I have to disagree about &quot;what goes up must come down&quot;.&nbsp; Gold is just the inverse of the dollar.&nbsp; Many currencies have gone to zero, which means the &quot;price of gold&quot;, measured in those currencies, has gone to infinity.&nbsp; Setting a &quot;stop loss limit&quot; doesn&#039;t always work, prices can fall so fast that there is no market to sell, but not to worry, that won&#039;t happen with gold.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I did the same thing in the late 1990&#039;s.&nbsp; Now my gold is over half my portfolio, and not because I bought any more, its because gold has gone up while my stocks tanked.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope they&#039;re still there when you are ready to retrieve them, banks have been known to take a &quot;holiday&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never have understood why people refer to gold american eagles or buffalos as being &quot;uncirculated&quot;.&nbsp; They&#039;re ALL uncirculated.&nbsp; I&#039;m not much of a coin collector, but part of the appeal of my non-bullion coins is the fact that they were used, carried in people&#039;s pockets, etc.&nbsp; The appeal of an uncirculated common coin is its rarity, i.e. most mercury dimes were well worn when they were still fairly new.&nbsp; So, I don&#039;t see the advantage in slabbed bullion coins.&nbsp; There is a down side to slabbed bullion coins, i.e. you can&#039;t weigh and measure them to verify that they are gold and not tungstun.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I had bought some 1/10 ounce eagles.&nbsp; Even if I only had 2 sons to leave them to.&nbsp; Suppose I left them to my sons, and they kept them and left them to their sons, it would be easier to divide them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion, which is worth what you paid me for it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
