I have come recently to really appreciate Jim Puplava's Financial Sense program. I recommend to any who like me are trying to survive somewhat in tact, to listen to this program. He takes a more wholeistic approach to investing than just gold although gold is an important element. In particular I suggest clicking on this site and if you don't want to listen to all of his weekend programs (each segement is about 1 hour long), I suggest you click on the second segment which is titled Investment Survival Tactics. susan
