Jim Gilmore Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Gold went to $1301.30 today all time record high good thing if you have a gold mine or a pile of nuggets This is one of thosse things that make me wonder...Prices always go up...over time...so what defines a record ?It will flucuate ut in time go up and upSame as houses and land prices. Yes the price of some land and homes fell. But they wll continue to rise and go to new record heights . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 It hit the $1300 mark and will go back down a little after all the selling. I had some stuff bought at $240. Sent it in Mon. I'll use that to buy a beater 4x4. Then I'll find more gold and sell when it hits $2000. If I take the money out of savings my wife will be in line for her cut. A $3500 truck will cost me $7000. So Selling $3500 in gold I get $7000 as I saved the wife's cut. Casino AZ will be out that $3500. As you see it's not just the price of gold. There are other factors at work. For me gold is at $2600.

It's still big money for pretty yellow rocks.Bunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homefire Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 This cracks me up! Like the Minimum Wage, As it goes up you loose buying power from all ends. Say you was making $12.00 a hour and they jump the minimum to $9.00, you don't get a raise to Commiserate the difference, You just was dumped on and took a loss of funds. If the wage goes up, you need to charge more for the goods you produce to meet that cost.It's all a Scam.I remember Gas at 15 Cents and I had a job paying $1.40 a hour. I was better off back then.A loaf of bread was something like 10 cents. Now you have to pay $2.00 for anything edible? The Dollar is Diving and No one seems to realize it.If you have ANY GOLD, I would hold it until the show is over.Just like Rome, the politicians have gone Ramp id and killed our country.History Does Repeat it's self!Check this out! It's True, Every Word of IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoser John Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 :*&$*(: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX as in no mo' and they already got the gold,I got the kids ,and thats what really matters in the longrun. Gold as a insurance policy against inflation,stagnation,and our current DEPRESSION has proved out to be a extremely safe bet in the longrun. BUT all found and not bought so I know through inflation indexed numbers what it cost,most expensive was around $280 including $25 a hour labor. Since run as a biz for many MANY years aged tax forms provide the info and mark all containers with info to sell in emergency only and only keep the gold bigger than a gram for max income with a + to spot prices. I still have found gold from the 50's found in Bagby so you could say yes I DO coveth them righteous pieces of my lifes history -tons a au 2 u 2 -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
