As a trading vehicle, sure it's as valid as any other because it seems to be so volatile, but I think we all know the perils of timing and how easy it is for people to assume that if someone has timed the market previously it was due to skill when more often than not it was just luck. @ CC – Agreed, gold as a long term investment doesn’t make sense to me.

I hung up the helmet at age 24 on a professional career. It was just too expensive. The series I would have been aiming to compete in at that time would have been US Formula 2000 (at the time, probably Star Mazda in today's timeframe) and to get a decent ride you would need to bring around $200,000 to the table I believe. Atlantics are probably in the $1 million/season range, and then ChampCar/IndyCar would be, I don't know, $2 million to start and then hope to get a paid drive after a season? Insanely expensive sport. @Jordan – Formula 2000 – I will post some pics. I hung up the helmet at age 24 on a professional career. It was just too expensive.

For them the market is always wrong when it doesn't agree with them (i.e. whenever gold isn't going up). They'll complain about central bank conspiracies, the evils of fiat currencies etc. and fail to see that gold is a terrible long-term investment. These gold bugs are hilarious.

That was quite the racing video. Just when it seemed that there couldn't possibly be another crash, there was another crash. As you say, it's not unlike the stock markets lately. Thanks for the link.
