MATT i think you are wrong on this one..i have been hearing all that chatter since 700....gold has a wider and broader range of interest both politically and from a financial insurance stand point than the tech boom...the housing market will come back..people need a place to live and if you look at the demographics of child birth the elementary  enrollment is up. altho i admit some are talking 10,000 gold...well ill be a seller then for sure.maybe.lol. then again 20,000 dow also has been mentioned and then the carpet gets pulled out.  no one knows...but one would be foolish not to hold onto the hard asset.  ...again gold is financial insurance as is health insurance , car insurance et al...buying the hard asset in form of gold coins is prudent and advisable...want more risk/reward...buy some with numismatic potential...

with all the govt manipulation and market heretic, gold is a financial insurance asset and therefore can not be held in the same light as other so called booms....

  ps..even alan greenspahn wrote that one should hold gold. i have the paper written by him if you would like to read it..
