| 'Gold is money' .... yes, eh ... only four syllables, but with so much meaning packed in ... in another post tonight you opine that the 'price' of bullion as expressed in USD has yet to set the world on fire and, as in this post, you consider it a poor 'investment' .... well that may be, but under the far more exciting class of 'speculations', nothing really has beat the quality gold share this last year, and nothing is poised as a class to beat quality gold shares this year ... see, the modern uptown azteca does not just buy lumps of gold and bury them, beyond that necessary to fulfill ceremonial duties of the ancient rites ... no, s/he speculates in yet another fine paper innovation of our species - the sharepaper of companies that produce, or find, or might perhaps one day produce and/or find, our elusive yellow metal .... it's a leverage thing, dynamic, active, alive |
