<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1226401, member: 22143&quot;]I gave specific reasons why Gold isn&#039;t just a commodity in regards to money, and I didn&#039;t quote a non-definitive Wikipedia article.&nbsp; If you can effectively argue why they don&#039;t matter I will consider it.&nbsp; But you are simply ignoring those facts and reasoning and continuing to insist that gold is a simple commodity.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It takes just a few seconds to find other links on Wikipedia that refer to gold as a monetary standard and the reasons that central banks still hold it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><blockquote><p><b>At the end of 2004, central banks and investment funds held 19% of all above-ground gold as bank reserve assets.[1]</b></p></blockquote><p>&nbsp; See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserve" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserve" rel="nofollow">Gold_reserve</a>&nbsp; Hence Gold is not just a commodity.&nbsp; Using your logic I just proved your point wrong.&nbsp; This is why I don&#039;t do battle of the web links. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are free to feel as you like.&nbsp; I don&#039;t seek to change your opinions of gold as that would be folly for me to do so.&nbsp;&nbsp; However keep in mind that opinion doesn&#039;t mean fact.&nbsp; If you are willing to actually discuss the points I made, then I will be glad to do so, but since you are ignoring them, and simply repeating yourself, I don&#039;t feel that I need to respond any deeper than this.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a reminder, the point of this topic is Gold as a hedge to currency.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(This is why I don&#039;t respond to link posts)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
