It might... it might not. Only time will tell and I am young and strong willed enough to stick it out. I have taken in the facts and figures and have readjusted my strategy to incorporate physical, which I see as less risky as gold lasts forever and gold miners might not. Buying gold does not worry me too much. Truth be told, when I see some of the bets my dad makes I get freaked out and want to cover the other end with gold. His latest play is a polar opposite play to gold. He just placed a million dollar short on the ozzy dollar and made a million dollar plus bet on construction. He does this regularly and he can freak me out a little.
