5. The price is still not at the peak it hit in early 1980

6. Dumb question
I got divorced a while ago, but still have my (plain gold) wedding band in a box somewhere. Should I sell it now? Would it even be worth it financially? Cost about $80 in 2001.

PS: Zero sentimental value.

8. If you have a good use for the cash, like paying down a credit card bill, it's an excellent time IMO
If you don't really need the cash, it's a wash.

9. IMHO... Gold will continue its ups and downs; but...
it will steadily go up as our economy continues to falter. If you can hold on to it, it will be worth more later...
