If the dollar is not under a gold standard, how come we can still buy gold?

Marc D asked:


I never understood that. Does that mean we can buy gold from anyone else but the Central bank? Why do they care about gold, if people prefer to carry paper money instead of gold in their pockets? Do they fear that people may sell them if they did not have them in their vaults?

Are you buying gold and silver, or are you convinced there will be an economic recovery and the dollar?

Blueearth423 asked:


I have heard many commercials on the radio touting the importance of buying gold NOW, etc., due to weakening US Dollar and other factors. What do you all think? Is this something that is a good investment? I am smart with my investments and have other stocks and mutual funds, and understand diversification to some extent.

What do you think of buying gold as an investment?

Full Windsor asked:


And I don’t mean buying bars in a bank, they’re kind of expensive there. Does it make sense to buy a gold bar on ebay. And keep it. What’s you opinion on future of US dollar and stock market anyway? Then just sell it to a dealer when you need cash?
Well, I don’t intend to keep it for years. Just for several months and then sell it and buy a home.
What’s the point of a money market fund? Saving accounts pay just as much.
