It seems that metals were on the news daily last year, now, the only commodity I hear about is oil. The gold merchants are running their ads on the radio 24/7 but I haven't heard much buzz lately.
Would you be buying currently? Not me but there's very little to feel is a solid investment out there these days. Real inflation is running 8-10% but real estate, stocks, bonds, and all the usual suspects haven't shown anything solid for some time.
It used to be that in times of high inflation that you could at least stay even with money market accounts but because of propped up low interest rates (4% mortgages) money markets are paying a quarter to half a percent.
Frankly, I'm puzzled where to put my money these days.

They're going to keep printing money, and their going to keep increasing the debt.
Money is going to continue buying less and less in spite of DOW being up.
I think anything is possible right now.

"Frankly, I'm puzzled where to put my money these days."
We are putting ours into our house hoping to improve our living conditions for the future.
Edited to add: Queenie is contributing to her 401K at a decent clip, I have become more focused on the house.

I keep buying stocks that pay dividends. I don't understand the gold market, or any commodity item for that matter, so I stay out of them.
Regarding the ads, I figure anything they advertise on TV must have a lot of markup / profit in it for the people selling it. And I see a lot of gold ads on TV these days.

Gold will continue to drop as the economy improves. But will the economy keep improving? That's the question. Will Israel bomb Iran? Will Europe keep Greece, Spain, Belgium, Italy from default? Will Iran try to block oil out of the Persian Gulf? Will US debt keep increasing and will interest rates on the debt rise? Will the US seriously address energy issues? Lot's of questions. I think there is more going against the economy improving that for the economy improving. And we're talking sustained improvement. 3% or better for 3-4 quarters. Personally, I'm not buying because it's just out of my league. And it's hard to say whether I would or not if I did have the means. An ounce of gold is $1700+!

My credit card balance spiked late last year, first time in a couple decades actually, so I stopped the 401K contributions (index equity fund) to take care of that. In two months I should be able to start the contributions back up.

Hey CG, me and Mrs BnB are putting a significant portion, 20-30%, of our expendable income into junk silver. Just in case.

Had I acted back in, what was that August?....when it was $1200?....I woulda made a nice pile of money.
As usual for me, however, I was too lazy to follow through and even research how to buy/sell gold. Sometimes I just plain suck at getting things done.

This caught my eye several months ago but I haven't done any more reading to see exactly what the catch is.
Perhaps some pros can shed some light on it.
