    I'm waiting for gold to get back up to about $900 before I put my old gold jewelry in the nearly indestructible envelope and send it off. I'm going to get paid.:banana:

    I find it interesting to watch the markets when someone hold a press conference and what effects it has.

    The gold standard doesn't work either. The dollar would be fine if we nationalized the Federal Reserve, eliminated interest on loans, and created a flat fee system. When the government loans money, they would be required to create that much actual currency. When the loans are paid back, the currency is destroyed. Fractional reserve banking is the problem. There's more debt and interest in the system than currency to pay it back. Somebody's going to lose something. It won't be the banks.

    Down through the ages, an ounce of gold has been about equal to the

    price of a good suit.
