Coxe, waxing poetic... Gold is the recently-awakened Sleeping Beauty, who always was beautiful but was overlooked. She is ready to take the throne among stores of value that was long occupied by sovereign credits. The handsomest courtier in her realm wears the crest of a long-necked water bird. ...and... We believe gold should be a significant component in most high net worth wealth preservation programs, and in most endowment and pension funds. For the first time since 1980, Germans and other Europeans with long memories are pouring into gold dealerships to exchange euros for coins and small gold bars. Germans have watched as twice in the past century their currency was utterly destroyed. They were strong-armed into believing Ludwig Erhard that their nation could have a currency that was as good as gold, and that revived faith was the underpinning of the German Miracle. That faith is now eroding, and individual savers are protecting themselves. Long-suppressed atavistic attitudes that suddenly coalesce into fear-driven behavior can have momentous consequences.
