Because Gold has no real use in todays world. accept it looks pretty!

That was the thinking in 1999 too. I spotted it in 98 and the caught the falling knife by increasing the stack to the point where I actually lost friends because they considered it a 'dumb as hell' thing to do. Wonder what they thought in 2011 when I cashed in and moved far away Cheesy

Keep spreading the word friend Wink

On an antidote note: I needed a new refrigerator last month so I had the guy I was riding with pull into the bank. I go in and 5 minutes later I'm out. Then motion him to follow as I jog across the parking the the coin dealer. My friend is nothing but questions by now. I flip him a gold eagle I'd just got from my SDB at the bank. He says 'So, it says $50 on it. Why not just get cash from the bank?' Do you know what that is and how much it's worth I ask. He says 'Yeh, its gold and worth $50'. I just roll my eyes and rang the buzzer. We go in and dealer Larry smiles big with a 'John good to see you, the usual?' 'Two this time' I say. Larry strolls over to the safe and grabs a stack of cash. I put two eagles on the counter and he counts out $2600 in $20's and $50's. No paper work at all and only five minute longer than only going to the bank. My friend is in shock and very quiet. On the way home he confides to me that when his mom died she had a few gold eagles and he cashed them in at the bank for $50 each. Cry
