Richard, you got the 50,000 post number for this thread where we all try to understand the meaning of gold thru the "after the fact" attribute of it's price. Some view this thread like it's a company trading, POG Inc., and try to figure out when to buy/hold/sell the product created. But you and I know that, as one did mention today, actual gold used as a commodity is very low in the "need" area as for food energy and building material. If tomorrow a chemist discovered how to turn peanut butter into gold in a cheap and easy manner, then the "use" of gold in the battle between good and evil will cease, and another item as a store of value will take its place. in this battle good vs evil sometimes the most simple of tests is needed to decide else the evil can tongue tie you in knots so like the Duck Test as in pornography or art as a toilet bowl hung onto a white sheet "I can not give you the written words...." "But, I know it when I see it." As in everyday life, for example you have a 8 year old son or daughter, and they wish to look at a book of pictures created by an artist, and artist that has his work protected by the USA laws, and yu know that thats ok, the artist has the right to publish them, but you know that you have the freedom of thought and freedom of action here to decide if it passes the your Duck Test. Let other submit to the unthought and non reason and anything goes, no right or wrong, because to them what happens "is", as in "wherever I go, there I am." doug
