What Peasant Phill says is true Strike For The South, but professional advise may not work either. In the end it's your own feeling, skill and 'luck'. It won't hurt to get some discussion about it.

Gold tripled in some six years, that's impressive. Some stuff has done better: phosphate. That did 10* within a very short time in 2008. For a special reason. People who got impetuous at 4*, bought a lot, got carried away by 'phosphate is a limited resource and will $$$' and forgot to sell again, lost a lot of money, because it more or less got back to the point where it was very quickly. A bit higher than before actually and it was expected to increase again, but that may not happen. Recently more resources have been found, and it's likely to last for 300 years instead of the 50. It might even be that recycling projects will lose momentum now (crisis afterwoes, delaying investment in the 'luxury').

I think we'll still see some rough water, but the chance that the gold price drops drastically 'soon' is likely. Whether soon is tomorrow or a year from now, I don't know. Buying 'cheap' stocks will be a smarter move and guarantees good nights sleep. Those may also go down a bit, and companies may default, but it's not a bubble that will burst any second. Don't put all eggs in one basket.
