Larry,

Were you bullish on gold when it was at $250, or just a momentum investor?

I’ve found there are three types:

1) those who invested in gold for the right reasons since proper portfolio allocation suggests you keep a small percentage in precious metals.

2) those who were bullish on gold when it was at $250 some time ago.

3) momentum players who want to keep the bullish sentiment in place so they can keep their gold coin eBay business going.

Which might you be?

As for having a clue, the same resentful comments were uttered on oil bubbles, real estate bubbles, and on and on.

As I recently learned it was a loan that was to be repaid with spoils of the travel. I wasn't aware the Italians celebrate the holiday, it does make a little sense though as I am pretty certain Columbus was in fact Italian.

Shouldn't it be a Spanish holiday? Ehh, maybe I'm mistaken?Anyway, thanks for the mention!

We can use financial independence for one and financial freedom for another. I think it’s a matter of definitions. We can use financial independence for one and financial freedom for another.
