Cajunboy, I feel that buying gold is not about making a profit, it is more about not losing your money. The reason why gold is rising is because people no longer have faith in the dollar. The price of gold could increase for a long time to come but only time will really tell, gold could just be an overpriced bubble after all. Who knows?

Oh btw, I dont see anything wrong with buying gold with a credit card. But just to let you know, most brick and mortar gold stores do not accept credit cards for gold bars, they only accept it for gold jewelry.
