Every piece of gold every minted is still sitting around somewhere, there is no reason tomorrow it won't be back down to $400/oz. Gold is just a measurement of fear and confidence in governments/currencies. If you really think governments/FIAT currencies are going to fail you might as well by SPAM and canned goods because they're going to be a hell of a lot more valuable during a true depression than some shiny metal.
