More main stream media attention, telling the public how to buy gold and why they should do it now that QE is in place. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/persona...-gold-bars.html

Me too, just this morning, before the rocket launch.

More media attention! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/persona...rates-fall.html

It did hit $1000 today. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home

I remember my first coin. £490 (including commission) --- I wish I borrowed money to buy more gold back then... seems really cheap now that its £697 ( excluding commission) - but still, i am afraid to borrow to buy at this level, which may seem cheap next year. I have to say a big thank you to being educated in the ways of gold, as I already have made a very nice return - on such a small stash.

Got my first Britannia today, one of those fresh 2009 ones. Much nicer coin than the Krugerrand and only £10 more expensive! And CGT free - why did I not start buying these in the first place? ATS - Bullion... again, I felt inadequate buying my 1 oz, while waiting behind a bulk buyer, boy people are really putting all their money in gold! And some people have loads of it.

okay... i have been buying gold now for a while.. and I am in profit, and have a nice little stash. But http://goldprice.org/30-year-gold-price-history.html Anyone else nervous looking at these charts? The only currency that looks like its still got a way to climb is the Yen.

no... not worried. I have only been buying gold for about 6 months, and have notices that every time it starts dipping like this, people worry... shout its the end of the bull market... only to see it rocket up even higher. I felt this dip in my bones, so did not buy and the recent peak - as I have done that before and only worried when heading down in to the dip. Glad I held out, I'll be buying at about wednesday this week.

What is it about a rising price that niggles at you to get in and buy at the top --- property wise, I never had that urge, but with gold, I had to hold myself back, buy in the trough and all that... http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/goldpriceslive.html Glad I did, looks like there will be another buying opportunity soon.

I stopped emailing ats when I got email replies telling me to go down in person to talk... Otherwise, they offer great service. By the way, anyone seen gold performance today? Up up up again, wish I could have bought more. Perhaps http://uk.reuters.com/article/businessNews...E50S3ID20090129 has something to do with ti.

The day Krusty Allsop and Phil Spencer present a TV show on Gold is the day 3-5 years before I sell my gold.

It sound like a good idea to me... i am just missing information. What about the VAT on silver? Jumping from silver to gold and back for me would be very difficult.

GBP 740 to buy including commission http://www.goldline.co.uk/bullionCoinsPage.page?coinId=49 Considering I bought my first one at GBP 490 .... I am very very happy.

Anyone got a rocket? Gold, although going up in GBP has been pretty stable in EUR, about 630 ish. Look at it today. up from 630 Euros to 683!!! Up in £ also. :lol:

Yup, Looks like its going back up again!

I have seen the value of my gold stash drop lower that what I have paid for... but then its shot up way above my original sterling investment... this has happened a few times already, I am no longer nervous about these dips.

You should read this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_int...ul_Wizard_of_Oz Wizard of Ounce. You will all love it.

In case you are interested... I got a Kruggerand today at ATS Bullion, for £542!!! Last time I bought I paid £480. I was told it was the last Krugger they had in stock. Not sure about the last one, as there was a queue of people selling coins also. The average price I have paid for my previous 2 coins was about £485, so on paper I am £114 up on those purchases.

Back to gold... Could we have some more rockets and parabolic chat, that time of the month were I buy gold... I always need a little push. Gold above £500 before year end?

Of the two time I have bought gold so far, both were just before 'smack downs' , I was a bit worried at first but.... I'm not going to wait for any smack downs, and will convert my GBP at the first opportunity: if I am fortunate to be buying just after a smack down then, lucky me.

War? http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=6938...ionid=351020104

Mark that comment, you may be right. I won't dare guess whats about to blow.

Blimey gold shooting right past $850!! $1000 before the sunsets?

Gold - why did I ever doubt?!
