For a good 2 months now, I’ve been telling everyone I know to buy gold and silver while it was low.  I’ve been putting every extra dime into precious metals since then and have started a fairly decent collection myself.  On Friday, I had the chance to spend another couple hundred on the stuff.  I went down to the coin store and came so very close to buying a Swiss 20 Frank gold piece, but at the last minute decided not to.

After the weekend was over, I discovered that Autumn and I were flat broke, having blown all of our money on liquor, strippers and sex toys (for reasons I’ll not go into here).  This left me with nothing to invest and of course, as the Dow plummeted these past few days, metals went back on the upswing.  Gold went up by over 10% and silver by more than 15%!  I may have missed out on my last chance to pick up gold at $750 an ounce, it seems.

But, don’t get me wrong…

…it was worth it.
