Message:: [QUOTE="ukgoldbug, post: 762569, member: 18631"]The trouble with gold is, it's gold and it's in real short supply and difficult (to say the least,) to make more of it. The trouble with Dollars are, they're paper and there's nothing scare about them. Sure if your unemployed you wouldn't say that, but what I meant was, if you're the Government you can just have a debate and go print off a few billion more. The money men obviously don't like Gold, because they can't make billions of dollars of (quick) "profits" with gold. But they can make billions of dollars of "profit" with (paper) dollars. Not surprising they like dollars then - especially whilst they can buy big houses and all the bling they want, with paper.  They and their Central Bank friends have been doing their utmost to Crush Gold (over the last 50 years, inparticular.) They have tried to decimate it's price and in the case of some countries even made it illegal to own at times! Not surprising really, the powers that be said "Gold standard no more" and ever since there has been sustained Establishment intervention to run the yellow metal right out of town!  Only not everyone is obeying the State's will.  Shame on all Goldbugs?[/QUOTE]
