Hi Richard. A week or so ago I posted a story from the WGC where they said they were going to spend 50$ mil. promoting gold but nowhere did I see a mention from them that gold was money or a currency they seem to be doing there best to make sure that gold is and will remain just another commodity ( tulip ). Iguess I have to agree with your last post and I can almost say Gold su........... na I just can't say it yet. anyhow this is the story I am reffering to. Gold Producers Raise Promotional Budget to Over $50 Million. " gold which has been revered for its warmth, beauty and emotional significance.'' " biz.yahoo.com

At least, Richard, tulips blossom once a year in the spring. When does gold blossom?

... [then] pundits [will] tell us gold [is] valuable to own. Richard Mazzarella ... still consider gold to be nothing more than tulips. Richard Mazzarella Perception is everything with tulips. <VBG> Richard Mazzarella ... People have to get off the theory that gold is money before anything serious will happen in application research. I sense that change coming. [From: ???] I agree, why would anyone spend the time and money to develope a use for physical gold that can only become a business success if gold's price remains at current level of under $290. With the possibility that like those tulips, the price of gold can increase without warning based on fear or greed or non economic supply & demand considerations, to a price like $3,000 and crush any commercial applications. Suggestion: Lets go back on the Gold Standard, and to prevent this store of value from being corrupted we will have to create laws to prevent gold's use in anything except jewery and national defense and with very tight controls like those on dangeous or harmful things one will need special permission for its use as in critical medical usage. All persons, at their expense, will be required to have removed and melted into coins those gold teeth they aquired before this ban on that usage was in place. No Grand Father Clause will be written into these laws. The only exception i can see here is when someone has a front gold tooth, then that person must have inserted into the face of the gold tooth tiny diamonds so that this gold will qualify as jewerly. But only if this person agrees to smile each and every time he or she mets another person. At random times and places an undercover FBI eXtra special agent will approach this person to check for a smile, and no second chances given, as in no smile then out comes the gold tooth on-the-stop. d:o)ug
