Captain Kirk: Speaking of goldbugs (incidentally, a term perhaps derived from the genius of Edgar Allan Poe who fashioned the masterful tale, The Gold Bug[1843]), Brinker on Sunday was asked whether gold was attractively priced at these levels. Not surpris- ingly, Brinker cited gold's martyr making 17 year bear market and-- noting low inflation, central bank selling, and storage costs-- he re-iterated his long held aversion to buying and holding non-interest bearing gold. Not long afterward, at the terminus of Sunday's show, Brinker re- peated his mantra that low inflation, interest rates, and unemploy- ment had contrived an environment of "economic Nirvana" and a market with more vitality than the famed "Energizer Bunny."
