<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1635973, member: 4626&quot;]The problem with your counter-example is that it only works if stocks are manipulated by the government.&nbsp; Governments can certainly take actions that influence stocks but assuming the stocks in question are traded in a free market, governments can&#039;t (or at least don&#039;t) manipulate them directly.&nbsp; Therefore, your refutation failed.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t fail to answer your question; I gave you very a very detailed answer why precious metals are different than stocks.&nbsp; You may as well argue there&#039;s no difference between shoes and socks because both are articles of clothing you wear on your feet.&nbsp; The fact they share similarities does not make them the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Since you brought up your education, it&#039;s fair game to mention that I&#039;m an accounting major.&nbsp; We probably took very similar classes.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure we were both required to take macroeconomics.&nbsp; You may want to pull out your economics book and give it another read.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
