I've never heard of a rich goldbug. I think there's a few rich gold salesmen, but they flog the stuff off to dupes who believe the USD will crash, Russia will rule the world, the DJIA will be 5,000, WW3's just around the corner and the USD will be worthless.
The USD's been going up for years, you think I'm gonna load up on Turkish washers or those worthless BRICS pin money?
