I've taken an interest in bitcoins again. I remember when they were valued under the dollar and mining with a common GPU was feasible. After a lot of reading it seems the best way to profit off of bitcoins at the moment is by buying coins directly and letting their value increase. I'm only wondering if there are any forseeable events in the near future that are likely to lower their value. For obvious reasons, I'd prefer to buy coins at as low of a price as possible. I won't have money to invest until my stocks vest in about a week. I'm hoping for a large sell-off.

I've also started pool mining Litecoins with two 6850s. I intend on holding a healthy number of these and selling the rest for BTC.
