Reacting to the Federal Reserve’s rate cut today, gold surged past the $800 barrier for the first time since 1980! I’ve been hawking gold as an investment for 2 years and no one’s been listening to me!

According to a press release today:

Gold last topped $800 an ounce in 1980, when prices reached as high as $875 an ounce in January. Adjusted for inflation, an $800 ounce of gold in 1980 would be worth more than $2,000 today.

I think that gold will probably hit atleast $2,200 if not more.  Some people are predicting higher amounts, like $3,500. I’m not sure. But I do know the US Dollar is a lousy investment right now.

Oil closed at $94.51 and the Canadian Dollar now cost $1.06!
