People see just how quickly one can make a $ or 2 trading these although that's not what I'm doing. Invest a bit here and there and hold out for the long run is my motto. I also think that in other countries it is a better solution for many due to their countries currency not being what it used to be for them. The $ is still king but for how long and how will this effect the mind set of US citizens over time? I think more and more will jump on this train as time ticks along..............
