Ron: All things considered, I'd rather argue with you than agree with you. But I can't. You have your stuff in one sock, and have consistently beaten down all challenges to your contention that gold has outlived its time as a store of value. I've been hoping that there would be some rational argument to refute your contention, but so far, I'm still waiting. As I read the vitriolic comments by your attackers, it becomes even more clear that their animosity is because they know they've been whupped, at least rhetorically. Your calm and rational replies to their caustic attacks do you credit. Now, please, will someone please present a rational case for why gold should be worth more than its commodity value? jim

He won't keep his promise. He said the same to me 3 times already. Hutch. I reply to everyone, usually, sometimes. Well often at least. Another boring day for GOLD. Couldn't you buy an ounce; just to make me happy. Please RON, just while I'm long.

I see you published my PM to you! Well, one breach of etiquette deserves another - so here was my reply: Private Message To: Ron Reece (who wrote...) From: DoubleD Friday, Jul 2 1999 3:31PM ET Among your many failings of observation is your inability to read what I've been trying to drum into your thick skull: gold IS a reserve asset that is NOT exchangeable for demand note paper, in other words gold is no longer convertible - there it is in black and white - I've been saying this all along!!!!.But even though it is not convertible it is nevertheless a reserve asset - get it???? Now Hutch - how many times have you said you don't want to hear from me? And, rest assured, Ron is no longer on my mailing list!! d
