In just another sign of public awareness widening regarding gold, Yahoo Finance just added gold to it's data board: finance.yahoo.com

Gold has been on their data board for a while I believe. It seems as though they are finally actually taking the time to update its movement. Without a doubt I agree that it's going somewhat mainstream but that's a relative term. If you could put the % on the amount of people that could quote you golds spot price today in our country I bet it wouldn't be higher than 10% still.

I get some pretty crazy answers when I involve people in conversation regarding gold. "It's going up, isn't it," they say... "what, it's about $700 now, right?" They stare in stunned disbelief when I tell them how high it really is. I've started evangelizing about silver when I'm out in public. While I was waiting to deposit zincs the other day in the merchant line at BOA, I struck up a conversation about "got silver?" with the guy next to me. I guess he was a manager or supervisor at a pizza parlor, according to his monagrammed jersey. He said "yeah, I bought a few thousand dollars worth of silver a few years ago, but people still don't know, do they?" He explained that some moron had paid for their pizza with a BU roll of silver rosie dimes. I asked what he had done with them and he laughed "kept them, of course." I offered him $80 and he took my phone number. Hope he calls
