The problem 'stackers' have to come to grips with Benny, is the rate of technological progress.
Goldbugs buy gold because they hark back to the good ol' days of the Great Depression and World War 2, but they can't come to grips with gold shorting, SPDR GLD, new mining equipment and innovation, loads of gold ETF's and incredible new means of communication and science.
It completely eludes them because they live in the past.
