About a year ago gold was at about $1,700. "Nah, too high," I said. Yesterday, I bought an ounce (4 1/4 ozs) at $2,731 (including commission). Last night, I was sitting at my computer, beating myself over the hear that I didn't buy at $1,700. Then it hit me - In six months, I would be sitting at the same desk, beating myself that I didn't buy at $2,731. So, today I bought another four quarter ounces at $2,778 (including commission).

The federal government is going into debt ten billion dollars a day . . . over three trillion dollars a year.

I couldn't afford gold, so I bought silver instead.

Good choice. .999 silver 'Walking Liberties' are going for $36 plus change at Apmex. (Probably a bit lower at a local shop.)

I have one-troy-ounce silver rounds, but none is the Walking Liberty design.
