Let's see.. Paulson made his billions by packaging together sub-prime toxic debt.. then selling CDS against it. I wonder what kind of CDS "protection" he has bought against Gold.. That would be the "rest of the story".. I am just hesitant to ride the coattails of hedgies like Paulson.. One never really knows the "full story" on their investment strategy... Hawk

>>To cut to the chase, gold will go up, but shares and productive assets will go up more as they become the store of value and gold-based money [if it went that way which it won't] will be just for groceries. The historical record of Wiemar, as described in The Economics of Inflation amazon.com is different than you describe. In the actual scenario, both gold and the stock market rose in relation to the depreciating paper mark, but gold rose more.
