Should You Own Gold, Silver or Commodity Stocks?

Wow, an article about gold that is reasoned, informative, and doesn't sound like some deranged cult leader wrote it. Very nice work.

As for the physical/paper thing, I still don't understand why it is a surprise that prices are higher at retail for small quantities than they are for wholesale purchases in bulk. Why do we need market manipulation conspiracy theories to explain it?
