IS THERE STILL TIME TO BUY GOLD STOCKS?

Gold shines for investors

- CNNMoney.com - 13 minutes ago Gold prices have gained luster as of late and many expect it to keep shining as investors look to hedge themselves against the threat of inflation and a weak U.S. dollar.

In my humble opinion the gold market seems to be in bubble territory.  Yet the hype is still on to buy gold because of the devaluation of the dollar. The oil producing companies of the world are discussing  getting off the dollar (although they are denying it)  as a world currency. What to do?  I was told to buy gold in the 90's.  But who knew?  The tech sector was on fire and that was where all the traders went. So when the herd goes in one direction, do we follow?  Now gold is hot, just like the techs were. Should we believe gold still has legs to go higher?  I am just angrey at myself for not jumping in sooner.  The old saying is "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER". In the 90's I jumped into silver and made a great profit when I sold.  When it went down, I purchased more.  Then I got stuck when silver declined.The Hunt brothers tried to corner the market and got caught with me owning it.  It has been almost thirty years and I am still not even.   All the analysts say Gold is going higher.  So whom am I to go against them?  Some say, if you must buy gold, buy some puts to protect yourself.  Okay, I am going to dabble a little.  Below are stocks for everyone's budget.  All you have to do is research these.

The following is for your review:
