As ElM says, the place has gone to the dogs. But in a dog eat dog and human eat dog world, turning oil into dogs is probably no bad thing. In Dog We Trust. In God We Trust. In Gold We Trust. The Holy Trinity God, Dog and Gold. When Armageddon and the rapture come, those with dogs, gold and -od will do well. Goedelian self-referential gold maths? It looks like a Gordian Knot. QCOM will untie the knot. You should be good for a couple of years to a flip, quantum tunneling the mineralized value from a rocky hole in Australia to a vault in Hong Kong even while the gold remains in the rocks buried in Oz.

Good grief, MqT, is that you or an avatar who has been hitting the sauce?

All that is new is [g]old.

"Superficially paradoxically, in the gold world, when your cost of production goes down, as the price of oil falls, your gold product does not go up in price. When oil becomes more expensive, the value of gold goes up too."

If that were true, then the gold/oil ratio would be a lot more consistent and level than it has been.

re oil, our mill is hooked up to the electric grid, which is a competitive advantage should any fool wish to build their own mill w/i each trucking of ours, because the electric substation newly necessary should act as deterrence by way of any proforma

so, our gold, i am guessing, is actually natural gas

and, given the desire to expedite eventual and further permits, licenses, and deter foreign, especially chinese competitors, we must crank up the political machinery, and in another sense, our gold is politics

in too many ways the manufacturing of 9999 bars involves a whole lot of details that business / economic schools should require as part of core learning that brings together many disciplines

math, physics, and chemistry
civil, mechanical, electrical, electronic and industrial engineering
accounting, finance, valuation
energy logistics, gant charting, drawing
shopping for new and used equipment
human resource planning and management, motivation
partner selection
joint venture negotiations
wheeling and dealing
option trading and futures hedging
macro economics
