We'll see a mania similar to the tech boom where companies sell for sky high valuations even though they have nothing. Everyone will be talking about it at the water cooler and suddenly become experts. I know people who have made 50-100% annual, compounded return investing in precious metals stocks for over 10 years. They are very good (of course) and do a lot of research and have patience and resolve that 95% of us could never match. I believe 2008 or 2009 will be the year of the gold bull.

If you were planning to increase your cash holding though, then that's as good an excuse as any to cheat. ;) Still, how about other uses for your cash? Maybe extra mortgage payments? I have a hard time justifying keeping too much cash around while still carrying a mortgage. Just an idea...

I'll have to have a look. Thanks. Preet, I agree. I think I'm going into one of those boredom stages right now. CM, I haven't gone that far, but I'm at a different spot than you. Lise, Well with a 50% match I would be buying some shares too! Dave T, Real estate depending on where it is could be ok. I would be careful about any precious metals as they are heavily over heated right now by the price of gold. I personally can't decide what would be best so I'm shelfing the decision for a while and moving into cash. Thicken, I agree. Cash is good. So when everything hits around the bottom you can inject some in. Tim Anjo,
