Several months ago, thad and several others were talking about how, due to the economy in the shitter and no confidence in leadership, we should invest in gold.  I said that jumping on the gold bandwagon when it was at an unprecidented high was a bad move.  You don't jump into a commodity when it's selling for more than it ever has before.

I was soundly and roundly mocked.  It was also suggested that I had no idea how commodities were traded.  Several weeks after my assertation, gold continued to rise.  I believe it was Gnome who made a jab at me that time.

Well, if you invested $10,000 in gold when thad suggested it, you'd have $9,000 right now.  You might still want to dump it and take your $1,000 loss because it's still dropping.

If you bought gold when thad said and wanted to turn a profit, you had less than a month to do it.  It maxed out around the first of the year at over $1,250/ounce.  It's gotten as low as $1,050 lately and is right around $1,100/ounce as I'm typing.
