OK so I mean I'VE been quiet not the market.  Not that I've not been trading at all, I've been trading oil and indecies AND I decided to jump on the yellow bandwagon.  I did a bit of research into gold.  Seems, although it may be posrting higher dollar amounts, if you take inflation into account it still hasn't reached it's high of january 1980 when it reached $666 (or thereabouts I just like the "Omen" coincidence) and yeah $666 in 1980 bought you A LOT more than it will now.  With inflation money seems to lose nearly half it's value every 10 years.  OK this may not be 100% accurate as inflation and interest rates vary but it serves as fair rule of thumb.  Anyway as I was saying with inflation adjusted dollars if gold were to hold the same value today it would be well over $2000 an Oz!!!  So with the current lack of faith in money I reckon people will continue to buy gold.  I'm even getting some myself and I don't mean to trade with.  I mean actually getting myself a few ounces. British coins of course, my blind patriotism knows no bounds it seems.  Seriously though, if you had to choose between an engraving of a noble Britannia with shield and trident with the union flag in the background or a maple leaf with a hockey player which would you go for?
