Usually I don't even open Ur notes, Ron...but U appealed 2 my baser nature. First, I'm NOT the thread's resident gold expert. I just have more experience in the physical as in "raw gold" or "bullion gold" world on here, than most. And frankly, I would welcome the appearance of Mr. Randolph, if he really is jeweler, to this thread. Why? Because "retailing" gold jewelery is NOT my thing. And yet, the Western gold consumer's main exposure to gold IS IN the jeweler's case. So, a voice representing the retail jewelery trade is a valuable perspective from where I sit. I have my opinions and understand their game, as I have several retail jewelers as clients, being that I'm a small wholesale players in their world. Secondly, I'm NOT the thread's resident gold expert, because in MY mind that would entail someone of the "geological profession." There are several fine geologists who both lurk and post on here. Thirdly, I'm NOT the thread's resident gold expert in another realm, and that is in micro-cap junior E&D or gold stocks analysis. RE: your question now that I've properly debunked your attempt at flattery...I will say this and I'll keep it real simple: The world is STILL on a global gold standard. The spin that it does NOT currently exist, buttressed by the tired ole August 15, 1971, US float of the US$ is one of the greatest pieces of bullpuckey that has ever been uttered/promulgated off since the Bretton Wood's Currency Accord meeting which concocted and launched this Post WWII error thinking." *That's it. That's all. I will NOT be replying to defend the above.* I doubt the EURO linkage is a beginning of a new trend. I'm sure I'm going to regret this reply, for I have absolutely no respect for you or your supposed research. I just wanted to set the record straight about what you profer as false flattery.
