did the value go up down? how much? ect.
Actually the value of gold stays pretty constant. When there is inflation, the price of gold goes up, but the relative value of the Gold is actually decreased (because it takes more dollars to buy the same amount).
Gold is a good thing to buy right now because the price of gold will skyrocket as we move into "hyper inflation" next year. When ever you have Democrats controlling the White House, The senate, and the House, there is always high taxes, unemployment and inflation.
I am assuming that Obama will probably be elected, but, even if McCain is elected, the government spending binge for the "bail out"will force the price of gold up too. Either way, you are going to make money on owning Gold. by the way, the gold coins they advertise on TV are not the same as the Gold we are talking about. Don’t buy into that unless you just like shiny things, Those coins will not make you real money.
Hope this helps.
