So if you paid US$xxxx today for your gold and the global economy as we know it falls of the proverbial cliff next week (incidentally I think it will be at least TWO weeks LOL) how does one value their gold in twelve months time for example if/when we have a new reserve currency or something entirely different has resulted?
Seems to me at best the value of physical gold may be lost in translation if you know what I mean? Isn't it then just the same risky investment as anything else.
