hb,
My answer is a conditional HB (Hells Bells).
My interest in the gold market concerns of GATA is directed only for gold's use as a standard of value used to keep paper money honest. As a commodity and as an investment I have near zero concern since I have only one more back tooth primed to crumble and be crowned, and my investment of small money in some penny stock mining companies represented only a wish to be entertained and amused with a possible slot machine bells and lights going off and seeing any cash returned as just more to feed the machine, knowing it will eventually win all.
(pause) i forget what the question was....
(later) ok, would i jump in and fight the other side ?
Knowing that i may win or lose or something inbetween.
Presently if i had $Billions, answer = no.
Reason: Its that battle between Good versus Evil and my situation has that covered so that i am not hindered or affected or hurt or wronged by Evil stuff.
But that above reason is like that saying about a single item, have good news and bad news.
simple non example George's house was burglarized last night good news = nothing of value was taken bad news = George is poor and has nothing of value to take
For me, its no i would not buy physical gold and force the manipulators hand since except feeling good about a gold issue to my desires becoming a fact, it does not have a plus or minus result outside just a satisfaction mood.
That the good news, which is the bad news for i since i have no spouse and especially no children for i to fight evil and help them live in a good world for their hopefully long life times. Once i go, poof it matters zero, so i no have a reason except for my present concerns.
Not to imply that i not feel for those currently in need of help, but was only addressing a reason to put at risk personal well being, as i would for family in stressful times or conditions, but not for those not knowned by i.
