Ted, if you think anything I've stated is incorrect, don't beat around the bush. I've tried to stick to easily verifiable facts: London gold prices, the S&P 500 and the Consumer Price Index. Without any specifics, your complaint sounds like sour grapes. I'm sorry if reality doesn't want to cooperate and line up with your preconceived notions.
I have no problems if people want to own gold. It doesn't make much sense to me to be buying the stuff while its price is plummeting any more than it made sense to hold a lot of Deutschmarks in 1923, but that's your business.

In the past five years it has weathered the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression, record-high budget deficits and two attempts in Congress to default on US debt obligations. Sure, another crisis might come along and strike a fatal blow to the greenback, but I can't imagine what that might be.
