PLATINUM is where its at.
My prof was raging about it today in marketing. He says he's "retired" on platinum, but teaches for kicks.
$500 price jump, per ounce, from when Bob Vila posted two years ago until now.
I would say that if you had bought a couple hundred pounds 10 years ago, you're probably quite happy now.
With the market looking the way its looking, I'm not so against Ron Paul's theory on hard currency. You can always pick up your precious metals and take them somewhere with you, if the dollar plummets.
