When that time comes, we won’t be focused on the price of gold but on the absolute need to acquire a more lasting asset. If I’m right, the plus $1,700/ozt. price today is not too high a price to pay.

This panic has started to create an environment where enterprising dividend investors could start adding to their positions at cheaper prices.
