especially the part about, <<In some sense we are fortunate, for we are blessed with economic lesson of once in 3-4 generations, and let us learn at internet accelerated pace how wrong the charlatans truly are.
I trust that soon enough cash will not be king, but life itself, should events go the dire way.
I still like gold, especially for its features that it cannot be counterfeited, is difficult to trade in the physical form, cannot be speculated at the push of a button, so hard to leverage against, shiny, eternal, not at the mercy of counterparties, pure and good.
I remember how handy gold was during the Asian Financial Crisis, a casual-dress rehearsal for what we are about to globally experience. I believe we are being blessed with a valuable education of several generations.>> |
