Get that silver and gold

I would be very skeptical buying gold or silver; but especially gold. It's dropped $665/oz since Sept 2011 and $90 of that in the last couple months. Some predictions are of a rebound early next year before another drop later in the year. Unless you really understand economic principles and what's happening (think world-wide propping up of countries, as our own government is throwing money into our's), I'd suggest avoiding any speculation of commodities.
