Poll question: Without being personal ... have you invested in gold or silver?
This is a "physical gold" question, asked as a poll, so please don´t share any personal information in your message if you feel uncomfortable with doing so.

Have you invested in gold or silver?

1. No money, no investments
As I posted in the Bear Stearns poll--nothing invested, nothing to lose. Meh. I am merely a spectator at this point.
Me watching the markets: :popcorn:

7. Mmmm...crunchier...
Shoulda also invested in the "butter flavoring" market.

Elaine: "Is that real butter?"
Theater employee: "Um...it's yellow!"

:rofl:

4. Not currently but planning on buying gold (maybe silver)
Leaning toward "tangibles" (except even real estate at this point is becoming scarier).

8. I love your polls, AS
They are always scrupulously worded, and you never forget to somehow work in the impoverished ... with our gold halos!

9. I bought several pounds
of silver when it was around 5 bucks an ounce. I figured I could always have it melted and could have some jewelry made if it never did anything. I have a small amt of gold.

13. Indirectly, yes.
I inherited gold and silver that was purchased as an investment. I've kept it over the past decade because I thought it would eventually go up in value.

15. Good for you!

16. I'd be lying if I denied having felt an itch or two
But, I'm not in any desperate need at the moment. I think I'll wait a bit more to see how things continue to play out before I make any decisions.

17. Ordered a new brass tailpiece for my banjo...other than that...
..Actually, that's about all. Maybe not the best investment, but banjos are more fun.
