    btw the gold price is going beserk the last 2 days. is there a gold bubble? probably, but a better question might be will be still a good supply of physical gold for the common folk to buy in 3 months time?

    Don't like Asheron's tone but am afraid he might be on to something.
    This quantative easement euphamism - printing money which could junk sterling.

    Problem then comes - even if you have a load of gold/silver what would you be able to do with it?

    Sorry - just been reading

    Silver Up Today Also :):)

    3 Months time? LOL, your too late already.

    When very rich people start buying seats on Gold and Silver Roller Coaster, you won't be coming :)

    It's going to be a very emotional ride, only manipulation has kept silver so cheap.

    Silver is a Gift from God right now.

    Paper Gold is a joke, it will probably default

    the uk government will announce their own plans for further bailouts on friday. we saw what happened to gold after america's plans, but somehow the dollar stays relatively intact.

    i have a feeling the gold spike may continue this week and if the pound gets hit hard going into next week, it could get mighty, mighty expensive for brits to buy gold. even when gold gets hit back down, the pound is probably not going to make a significant recovery. i'm ordering the rest of my gold today. could care less about any further manipulation because the fundamentals of the shiny stuff cannot be kept down much longer.

    we are gonna fold into the euro when the pound crisis really kicks in. anyone think this isn't gonna happen? i reckon it's pretty much a dead cert right now.

    i'm not surprised. people will be on their hands and knees before it actually happens though.

    sorry to be a conspiracy 'nut' but its certainly an example of the phenomena known as 'problem, reaction, solution'.
