Gold y is a metal like may other rare metals nothing special except the barbarian instinct of those buying it.

With the advance in many technologies and more so the tendency of supersonic travel and rocketry there are plenty of other metals much more valuable than gold.

IMHO fascination with gold or silver is just a primitive tendency to value something that is nothing more than a shiny metal preferred in the jewellery business.

TJ may disagree with me as will many others but just hoarding gold is not an intelligent move.

When high technology was speedy horse carriages then may be gold made some sense but today is meaningless.

What about Rhodium the most expensive metal in the world. Iridium or Ruthenium and much more.
