So, do you recommend buying gold now? Or what are you saying,
exactly?

I don't know if Jon Stewart was full of chit or not but he was poking
fun at gold sellers on Fox that had a 30% commision.

You might want to reconsider Wes.
He was poking fun at idiots buying and selling gold that were paying a
30
percent premium to brokers.
Gold is a market for children and POG people.
It has absolutely no basis, reality or use in the real world.
Completely Speculative is the best description.

We may be missing something here, John. If things get *really* rough,
gold would make good fishing sinkers and, probably, pretty good bullets.

Lead may be too valuable then to use for the purpose. g

You want to invest in gold, just buy the stock GLD. Priced at 1/10 of an
oz. Hell of a lot less commission than 30%.

No, thanks. I'm not a speculator. Nor do I bet against my country's health.
