Has Gold Lost Its Luster?

This is a technical correction, it's overbought but a pull back would be healthy and I would expect market analysts to understand this.

Gold Holders: How to Protect Yourself

"For starters, keep buying bullion coins regardless the price", is shockingly poor advice for any investment. Given your profile you should know better that price does matter.
