Gold Nugget Found In England

One of our UK subscribers (Stuart) sent in this info on a beautiful gold nugget find when out coin hunting:
I have found a 5 gram nugget of Crystalline Gold.
I found it two days ago on a friend’s farm in the UK, as far as I know gold is extremely rare in England (Manchester) and it’s possible that more will be buried deep on this land. My piece was found about 6 inches deep; it is in the shape of a ‘seated dog’ and has about 90% gold to 10% crystals. It is not worn and the detail is superb and overall is very attractive.
Area is North West UK, machine is a Minelab Explorer.
The gold is thumb nail size and weighs 5gram.
Regards Stuart

The Case for Gold

When the entire fleet is sinking survivors will head for the driest boat. In a sea of sinking currencies, the lifeboat is gold. That is its value, its grace and its historical role. And, it has always come through.
I think we’re in a commodities bull market that still has a ways to play out. The US monetary policy is insane and I can’t imagine it won’t help the yellow metal long term. At this point, it’s not whether I go long stocks or gold, but rather do I stay in cash or hedge against inflation…
In 2008, stocks lost 30-70 percent of their value, while gold increased about 5 percent in US dollars. But equally significant, in a year of record-setting volatility, gold’s volatility was reassuringly low. At its lowest point, gold was only down 14 percent and at its highest it was up 21 percent. Both Goldman Sachs and UBS see gold rising in 2009, and UBS expects investment demand for gold to pull the price of silver and platinum up along with it.Citigroup is calling for gold to rise above $2,000 in 2009.
Spot Gold … Higher Prices Ahead

Gold has gone up every year for the past nine years.
According to Elliot Wave analyst Alf Field, we’re in a powerful wave three up right now. True a lot of institutional investors have attention deficit disorder, but considering the fundamanetals such as return on investment, I expect gold–and silver–to pop this year.
Infllation while not a threat now is coming down the road. The massive decline in supply side investments in commodities with the current economic downturn will come to haunt us a few months down the road in terms of scarcity and higher prices. So there are plenty of reasons to buy Gold now.
