I've been buying gold/gold mining stocks since 02 and last year just started buying a silver ETF.
You guys have to own gold if you want to survive this recession which could easily turn into a depression.
Gold is real money and will continue to increase in value vs. the dollar.
after what happened with companies robbing shareholders and other fraud, i would only trust physical gold or silver. it would suck if they checked the etf's vaults and it was empty.
