Im too poor to afford Gold but I have stacked quite a bit of silver thanks to the low price. I believe the "strong dollar" is just a sign of the impending crash. I am hoping that silver is near a bottom, but I am watching for the housing crash for the sign that it will be spiking.
There seems to be a direct negative correlation between the housing market and the price of precious metals. Since I plan on turning my silver into a home, I am eagerly anticipating. Yet I look at this as a learning experience. the more I learn about the market the more I learn to play it later for profit.
