I have a question. Is the meteoric rise in gold and other commodities just a telling sign of inflation settling in? At the end of the day if gold keeps on sky rocketing the way it does, and oil is going up now too, won't that give the average Joe less buying power? It has to be a bit more complex then that? Right?
