I noticed this "ar" aticle (and no Mike, I did msipell this intentionally), in the Orange County Register about the expansion of Gold Max, a growing retail chain in the business of buying and selling gold. It seems like a rapidly expanding business with very strong short term prospects, with unemployment and gold as high as they are and the economy as low as it is.
I suspect gold will continue at its lofty hieghts for some time while the economy continues to struggle and people need to dispose of the shrinking family jewels, (no I don't do divorce law) for cash and those with cash are looking for places to put it with, again, an unstable stock market.
But how long will the gold boom last and how long will it be before Gold Max starts seeking additional rent concessions partly caused by their rapid expansion. I suspect that in about 3-5 years, this business will start having trouble as the economy and employment improve and the gold business start diminishing. In the meantime, you might as well go for the ride, since it looks like it will be a fun one for the gold people. And that is ok for today's landlords since by the time that the Gold Max starts having trouble, there will be other tenants to replace them.
