:0) i will make sure to tell what you wrote to any zimbabwe financial refugee crossing my way to paraphrase nixon, we are all zimbabweans now as to gold being heavy, makes one a target, and has no nutrition, i might also add that gold is heavy, cannot be printed, makes you a target for gold reasons, and is not fattening as to gold losing value in face of systemic, rotting, and dire confidence-vaporizing crisis, it would be the first time that would happen it could happen that way, but i understand gold was quite valuable in carthage right up to the moment when all got salted, and stayed valuable afterwards for a few thousand years as to using intrinsic value and gold in the same sentence, perhaps there is a misunderstanding by you of my position gold is ordinarily not useful to me, for i am happy with silver wires, have perfect dental structure and parts, and do not wear gold jewelry because i prefer platinum a parachute is also not useful to me, ordinarily, and its intrinsic value is no more than a rubber raft, as far as i am concerned, but a parachute does have its single use when needed, for a situation that all parachutes are destined for, at least once at the moment, the paper trade in parachute is tepid in pricing, but more rather than less firm in relation to all the other luggage on the plane, but the physical trade in parachute has effectively seized up previous lending policies by parachute hoarders have been terminated are you not concerned ? :0) the neat thing is our debate will be settled, and the stakes are very much for real, with a free history and economic lesson thrown in for a dear price it would be counter intuitive, as far as i fear, to sell gold for paper shares, houses, or anything else at this juncture the exchange of gold for goodies will happen, later, when the screaming in the arena is stilled, and when ... oh, i best not get too graphic cheers, tj

You forgot that old standby - "dollars are better than gold in a crisis because you can burn 'em to stay warm". wg
