I hear this nonsense every time gold drops in price; however,  I'll still take an ounce of gold over it's dollar equivalent.  These dips in the price of gold  are just opportunities for me to buy more. I started buying gold when it was around 1000 dollars and I haven't done too bad on that deal even with these sporadic...more

Long term, gold will correct, a la 1983.   Short term, I can imagine debt fears to drive it up some more.  Wouldn't pour any new money into it though, and would advise everyone to get out the next time it peaks.  Better a year early then a year late on this one...
