Sculp, I personally found this interesting, and I sure hope things don't ever get close to something approaching anarchy. But at what point does a person abandon fiat currency and stockpile physical gold in his basement? At what point does a person get out of the stock market completely and buy gold? Can you imagine if we all became wealthy off of SLI (on paper) and then the US dollar goes belly up, rendering fiat currency and our paper profits useless? Scary to think about, and I'm not one to blindly follow the alarmists, but this message seems to be getting stronger over time. Although I do like the notion that the price of gold is going to continue to rise during 2011, as we prove up the Tesoro.....
