"Sometimes he is right on sometimes not. Same as all of us."

yep

just a bit more radical but so what? In this arena you can find many many financial commentators with a slant towards gold saying far far worse things than I do.

grain of salt, sure, why not? We can all live together if we don't take ourselves too seriously.

>>Do you have health insurance because you wan to get sick ?

An explanation of my "doubts" is needed.

They stem from my conclusion that goldbugs would be disappointed if the price of gold fell, signifying that the troubles were over and "insurance" was no longer necessary.

It's not insurance, it's a bet on and for an outcome (the more disastrous the better).

It seems to me that may be why the political diatribe is tolerated, even applauded, on this thread. To suggest that goldbugs believe in gold as insurance is like calling RE's hatreds "philosophy".

Do you have fire insurance because you want to burn your hotel? No, but if and when it happens, lord forbid, I am glad I don't own any gas cans and it is closed for repairs at the time! It's those paint rags in the closet. You just can't trust the help anymore.

I don't buy gold because I want to the dollar to fall. I buy gold because the dollar is falling. What me worry?
