Finally someone gets it!
Been sitting in the wings almost a year, reading every post, and what amazes me is why everyone seems to compare gold to fiat.
Suggest if an ounce of gold was valued in "cattle", how many would exchange, or even be interested?
How about chickens?
However, because it fluctuates in "fiat", we cry "manipulation!"
The only thing that is being manipulated by "Fiat" are the sheeple.
Why do we own gold? Is it because we want to sell at a higher fiat price to make more money?
If anyone answers "yes", suggest gold is wrong for you.
Forget the manipulation!
Obtain gold by whateverr legal means you can, AND GET IT OUT OF CIRCULATION. Do not allow the manipulators any ammunition to keep playing their games by always putting gold traders on defence.
Same goes for gold shares!
Good luck to all!
