<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1248709, member: 29012"]@JeffB - I suppose I should have prefaced my other post with "In a free market", since you are quite correct in your assessment. However due to the manipulation involved in that scenario it is not an accurate representation of the fundamentals in play. This is why I prefer to look at long term historical information and not just recent history. The last handful of monetary systems have not lasted more than 40 years until the current one which just had it's 40th birthday a couple weeks ago. When people are putting faith in a system of paper that is considered 'as good as gold' yet does not have the failsafe that gold does of not being able to be conjured from thin air then it's no wonder that things get skewed, but I highly anticipate that we will get a gold standard in the near future and the free market will take over at least for a moment during the transition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
