You sound like sour grapes. I wouldn't buy gold when it was $1,800's, thought it risky. I began this time after the first lows rebound $1,180 and actually purchased as high as $1,425. My average is below todays price and dealers will always expect the vig, just like I expect to get paid for my work.

But what goes down, like Gold, usually goes back up, so an average price of say $1,400 under your scenario is better than $1,800 if your a long term holder. See you can buy more when it's cheap with discretionary income, so you do if your into Gold. It didn't stay at $1,900 long so if you shot all your wad there....bummer for you.
