gold, page-24286

Timber your " quote " :-

" Over the long term, the best that can be said for gold, is that it is an unpredictable store of value."

The problem with this " analysis " is that it is in many opinions exactly " opposite " to your above quote.

That is Gold is in fact highly predictable as a store of value as is " evident " over the " millennium ".
A fifty year fiat con job is but a little " hiatus " in the " scheme " of " value " over time.

Your next quote " During the last five years, gold has been a demonstrable destroyer of US dollar saving"
is wrong. Look behind who owns, promotes and prints the US dollar -the crooks and those associated
with the US Federal Reserve. The greatest " con job " on the worlds citizens that has ever been
" instituted " in the name of " economics " , or indeed (in)justice.
