“Oh, most excellent gold! … who has gold has a treasure [that] even helps souls to paradise”
Columbus, as quoted from “The Power of Gold” by Peter L. Bernstein, 2000
“The word ‘risk’ derives from the early Italian ‘risicare’, which means ‘to dare’. In this sense, risk is a choice rather than a fate. The actions we dare to take, which depends on how free we are to make choices …”
“Against the Gods – a remarkable story of risk” by Peter L Bernstein, 1996
These are the clarion calls to arise from dormancy and arm, the tired Auricle bugs!
It soon shall be your time to storm the castles of Finance, the Temple of Hedonics, and rule in the Citadel of Species, as you had for four millenniums before the Great Twenty Years Interlude.
The Motley Fools speak of you in tones of contemptuous jest. They shall be silenced.
The Maestro fears you secretly, for you are the believer of true Au species and not of coconut backed construct dressed in sickly green. He shall be vanquished.
But, slowly, slowly and ever so slowly. Never be in a hurry to lose money. We simply do not know the future, and so far, again and again, we have shown ourselves to be lacking in imagination.
I have always wanted to watch history up close and personal, and here now is our chance of several life times.
