Thanks for spreading the word about this.
14 July, 2011 10:19Ron Paul is right . Gold is no money. This is only a mean of storing a value in times of public distrust in government or just industrial material (metal) like the others.
25 September, 2011 21:37Well, read some recent articles of Martin Armstrong, an economic genius and historian, who explains logically why gold can not be money (one of the reasons - there is no enough quantity of gold existing to serve as means of exchange in the world). Martin will hold a seminar soon (2500 $ per 1 day) but its worth to listen to him and learn. He is a hero fought by FEDS and divine Goldman Sachs because of his genius in predicting economical and political events). I used to follow Martin long before he was unlawfully thrown to jail for 11 years and he was a genius , you can trust me, as he still is 11 years ordeal.
I love almost all of your articles but you are not right re gold.

In my first sentence of the previous comment I said Ron Paul. Well, I meant Bernanke. In this only one point Bernanke is right.
25 September, 2011 22:31Sorry for mistake.
If Bernanke is aware of the proper use of gold and the distribution of the dollar, I wonder why they still messed up the economy by not preventing the housing bubble bursting.
