Despite the groans of the Bush Administration's Neo-Conservatives about Sharia Banking becoming vogue in America due to the risk inherent in Mortgage Backed Securities and bond / credit derivatives like Credit Default Swaps manifested itself by creating a domino-effect that started the US credit crunch. Precious metal investments like gold would certainly save the American economy.

First of all, to those fortunate enough to experience the soap opera Dallas (I only saw it from my mom's DVD collection), isn't the Hunt Brothers hoarding silver reminiscent of the drama of the ficticious Ewing Clan? In my opinion, concrete assets like gold, silver, and other precious metals are definitely a better investment compared to those arcane bond / credit derivatives like credit default swaps or mortgage backed securities. But its always wise to do your "homework" first everytime you invest substantial amounts of money.

During the July 2008 peak oil period of 147 US dollars per barrel, the energy needed to process an ounce of gold reached a little over 600 US dollars. If the price of gold - on an per ounce basis - falls below 600 dollars an ounce, it would be a disaster. Precious metal dealers would be selling gold at a loss. Could this scenario happen?
