i know silence is golden but, page-16

Tony you're assuming too much about us "gold bulls".

And not everyone needs to be a "gold bull" the way you define it to hold gold - as holding some gold (or gold shares) makes sense to most investors as part of a balanced portfolio.

If you do a survey on the people who post here(in fact why don't you instead of assuming) - I'd bet few would hold more than 10% of their total assets in gold.

And by assets you would need to include a home too.

so us "gold bulls", that very liberal tag you apply to posters here, may just be a auriferous pigment/figment of your imagination.
