I was reading this article today which just screams of playing safe during bad times. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/william_rees_mogg/article5740620.ece Here you have stocks and bank losing values up to one half and two thirds while gold continues to rise steadily. Like I keep saying its a good time to buy gold during the tough times.

Before the internet the really only place where to buy gold was brokers and individual shops. Financial brokers have moved out of the market and gold vendors are moving to the internet. The reason while the vendors are moving to the internet is mere volume. Why have an expensive store front and pay for advertising. The biggest vendors compete on Ebay the beauty of where buy gold now is to go to Ebay where you decide the price to pay. The market is soft and the dollar is soft so you can buy a commidity at a good price that will hold value.

Fox business reports that gold rose a few points today as the dollar continues to fall. http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/energy/gold-futures-rise-day-dollar-falls/
When you buy gold it is not a for a quick purchase and quick sale. Gold thrives in economic recession which is what we will be experience for some time. With a trillion dollar infusion being spent on the economy clarifies that tough times are ahead. The dollar is going to continue to drop. A dollar now and within a year from now will be less while buying gold will slowly increase and matain value.

A good read from the Bloomberg report. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601012&sid=ankEaicSK3Vk. It is a good time to buy gold. Since 2004 Gold has had a slow raise because the economy has been so good. The history of gold has shown when the dollar is taking a dive people invest more in gold. The reason is gold holds its value and increases during recessions. I personally think Ebay has the prices towards buying gold or to buy your gold. If you go to a personal shop you will pay too much. Ebay provides competition among sellers because they have to take less enable to sell more.
