Doom Books are always best sellers..with the Gold crowd..

You all need encouragement that you are not alone as your assets drift lower.. and your hope for total collapse of society is never fullfilled.

God bless you..

<<ANY one else read where Russia says it will buy GOLD to shore up the ruble?>>

Do you have some reference for that? I read that the ruble would be backed by gold, I did not read that they would be buying more to shore up the price. I don't read everything though, so I might have missed it. Given their situation, wouldn't it probably be cheaper for them to dig it out of the ground than to buy it on the open market?

Further to my previous response, the gold backed ruble thing seems to be linked to Chernomyrdin, whose acceptance by Russian parliament is by no means a certainty.
