Maurice, since Bretton Woods abandoned the gold standard...

the USdollar has gradually replaced it as world store of value
and it pays a dividend yield
the world NEEDS a stable tangible commodity store value
without gold or another precious metal, the human need gropes for a replacement
and it found one, not a perfect one, but a workable one

the consequence is that when world financial markets resolve the US$ overpriced condition, WE GET A WORLDWIDE RECESSION

nice rant, old top (and a Cool Post)

let's not even talk about the economies whose currency is pegged to the buck
e.g. Argentina, Lithuania, Belize, Cuba and many many more
