GRIM, I agree, & gold maybe down to $1,100? Right now I am buying. I am not going to luck out & buy at the bottom, so I just consider the upside. You know Sharia Law allows for the purchase of gold after 3/31.  Will it have an affect on price? Yes, but how much remains to be seen.  Right now my gold and silver holdings ave value/oz, is less than current prices.
