Countries STILL settle up their debts with gold transfers. I was personally glad to hear this news. With a high deficit and a weak dollar gold will be worth more.

I've been buying precious metals for about two years now. A 600/oz price tag on gold suits me just fine.

Currently pawn shop prices are about 3-5 dollars a gram. A lot of people fall for that.
