[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 2638088, member: 29012"]It's interesting how most people measure the value of metals in so-called dollars even though in the US the legal definition of a dollar is not what we have as currency.

Yet people still insist on measuring value with a measuring stick that is based on something that no longer exists. That this imaginary stick is being used to measure the very thing that is responsible for its inception is quite the irony. Being a stacker isn't about doom and gloom. It's about trust.
