But this has serious investment implications, too. Unlike some of my colleagues, I’m pretty luke-warm about gold. Neither for nor against — I don’t know much about it, and don’t especially care to!

It’s a stance that may end up costing me a fortune... but there it is!

To me, it’s always seemed a commodity driven by speculation. Most of the demand for gold is from investors, and investors are fickle.

But today’s article from Erin and Isabel has given me pause for thought. Maybe there is something — something real — behind this here gold story...

Discover what Erin and Isabel reckon is the one thing metals investors should always remember.

The US stock market got smacked down yesterday — ending the day with a loss of 355 points on the Dow.

The proximate cause of this punishment, according to the papers, was yet more bad news from the oil market. The oil pot bubbled up yesterday. The price of crude rose more than $5 to close at its highest point ever -- $139.
