Totally agree Edgy,

An ounce of Gold, is an ounce of Gold. (It was in 1912 and is still today)

An ounce of Silver, is an ounce of Silver.(It was in 1912 and is still today)

A 100 cent dollar, is whatever the market says it is.

i.e. In 1912, it was worth 100 cents.

Today, it is worth approx 2.2 cents compared to value in 1912.

As long as " The Traders" keep comparing gold and silver to FIAT, they will always prove that gold is the unstable store of value.

Rule of Thumb going forward:

A good quality suit (of clothes) for a man can be bought for 1 ounce of gold. It has been that way for over 150 years.

Good Luck to all!
