For the millionth time GOLD IS NOT A COMMODITY

That will be something only learned in hindsight.

Like all of human history, events have to show why that is so.

It's all happened before I know, but maybe it's different this time?

I'm a firm believer in numbers and the appropriate use of statistics to reveal underlying trends.





Wars typically don't help the value of fiat currency for example.

but I've learned many times in the past, if people don't want to believe you, they won't until reality determines the matter beyond argument. I just hope when I'm wrong I am nimble minded enough to change my view before it's too late. -g-

I know gold is different in some ways from other commodities, and sometimes it diverges from the pack, but the same could be said of any commodity. They all have their own unique characteristics. Most of the time gold tracks other commodities pretty closely.
