1200/ oz today.

I'm long but only at ~3.5% of my portfolio. If inflation takes off, i think could easily go to 2,000. Not sure how big of a position I'd take in gold, but commodities in general could be a good play.

Long the equities market and short the dollar has been working really well the last couple months.

IMO, it's too late to play gold/other metals. it's SELL time now.

Once the economy picks up, the dollar will get stronger which will in turn drop the prices of gold/silver/plat.


I could be way wrong, but i don't see it sustaining these prices past 2010.

i don't see it going too much longer either. if i could play, i would be shorting it right now, but i don't have the extra cash flow. maybe next year when i get my tax refund, and if the prices are still high, i'll short a couple grand worth.
