Hello everybody,

    Have a question for the folks who were in business in the early
    eighties, when gold was $800 an ounce. 

    How did you do it? How did you open/run a business in that kind of
    economy. 

    It seems to me like we're looking at a repeat of the same economic
    circumstances, and I'm concerned - both about the rising cost of
    gold, and the ability of customers to buy my jewelry. 

    Should I buy gold now? Or should I wait the projected five or so
    years until the dollar strengthens and the economy evens out? Am I
    making this harder than it needs to be? 

    I think the new and nearly new among us could benefit from the
    survival skills acquired by those who survived bad economic times.
    Any stories/advice anyone? 

    Thank you in advance, I await replies with some anxiety. :)
