<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1475986, member: 26302&quot;]I think the change in the rule would be a mistake. If everything is denominated in dollars, then anything not dollars inherently has a risk. Its how the system is set up. If everything was denominated in grams of gold then dollars would have a risk, (probably higher than the other way around).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think getting rid of risk weighting for any commodity is an error. Now, I also believe 50% the same as housing is too severe, and would be ok with only a 10% risk weighting, but especially at today&#039;s prices relative risk of all commodities are there. The fact is they AREN&#039;T dollars, so that should be calculated in.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me the whole thing sounds more like a bank bailout, (loosening rules), than it does anything positive for gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
