*mmayr, I've actually found that eBay is the cheapest way to accumulate precious metals, and I've actually pulled back my bids a bit because I do believe it's possible that we pullback under $8 on the spot market, in fact, it's also possible that we trade around this level for the next 6 months. But, I still believe that there's an imbalance between demand and supply and it will continue to equate to higher and higher prices across all paper currencies for precious metals.
And of course high oil prices will lend support to $GOLD as oil-rich nations divest into REAL MONEY.
