excarddog: best post of the day!!

To make slider, iso and the other trade counters happy: today I considered selling oei, tmr and rig but did not, bot

1k csco @ 29.5
1k tfs @ 20.30

Gold: my opinion FWIW: forget it. Grew up on gold mines. The financial mechanics that made gold valuable have been dismantled. It is a colored metal that looks good in rings, necklaces, it won't corrode and is one hell of a conductor of electricity. It used to have a value in that it was portable and concealable: ie, you could carry a lot of value with you. Today electronic fund transfers are quicker and lighter and, I believe, harder to steal en route and they do not require smelting, recasting and an assay when you get there to prove their worth.
