While I understand your concerns over the EU and the euro (let's just say that the whole ordeal has been as botched up in the worse possible manner, threatening the existence of the common market and the prosperity and stability of Europe), what do you think will happen if the euro went away? The financial markets (damn them to hell while we're at it) and more importantly, the common market, which would find itself in a big crisis due to convergence and exchange issues. Do you have any alternatives in mind which would ensure stability, yet without the current structure?
As far as gold goes, we're on par. I only wish I had had the monies and the smarts to invest when it was "relatively" low.
