To paraphrase a rhyme about Sam Zell - If you buy when Brown (Gordon) is selling, A stately pile may be your dwelling.... Brown sold gold around $280 USD in 1999 I think. From Wikipedia Gordon Brown - Gold sales: Between 1999 and 2002 Brown sold 60% of the UK's gold reserves at $275 an ounce.[41] It was later attacked as a "disastrous foray into international asset management"[42] as he had sold at close to a 20-year low. He pressured the IMF to do the same,[43] but it resisted. The gold sales have earned him the pejorative nickname 'Golden Brown', after the song by The Stranglers.[44] Sam Zell is a US real estate mogul, known for buying low and selling at the high... "If you buy when Zell is selling A cardboard box will be your dwelling"
