That's cool. It doesn't take a bunch of money to drive the price, what with all the gold bugs out there that have double and triple downed. I'm in it as a trade, not a lifestyle. Buy, hold, sell when it falters as China and the EU debase their currency against USD. I'm betting on a mild and gradual shift of world economic power. If I were betting on a complete meltdown, I would go long on canned goods, ammunition, and water de-radioactive pellets.
