"If gold's such a fantastic investment, why isn't it listed on disalloweds?"
@Skol there are no products or resources listed on a stock exchange, there are business and enterprises that produce products or mine resources out and businesses that are service providers.
No one goes to disallowed to bid for a car or a lounge you go to a car yard or shop for that???
Have you fact checked your comments before hitting the enter button because your comment makes you seem like you have no knowledge on what a stock exchange is for.
Now that I understand you clearly do not know what a stock exchange is for and what its function in the financial system is, I can feel sympathy for you and your view on a yellow metal.
Its function in society and it's place in the financial system requires a little more understanding than what a stock exchange is. A suggestion is invest your time on researching this and then come back and post some more intelligent comments on HC and some may actually take you seriously.
