@C7RKY We must be careful not to overestimate security of gold either - it, too, has fluctuating market value. -
@paulrogers002 As does every commodity Paul, I agree. Just something in my water (& a banking background) says watch who's stockpiling gold. -
@C7RKY Many saw shift from gold standard as also taking the brakes off unlimited (but unsecured) circulation of capital. Had consequences.. -
@paulrogers002 Didn't it just. Biggest consequences perhaps yet to be seen? Debt slavery is still slavery - and no gold to buy your freedom! -
@C7RKY Current German paranoia about book-balancing in face of s.European debts harks back to 1920s Weimar hyperinflation, for example. -
@paulrogers002 Yep, the signs are worrying when you consider they're no longer isolated in nature. Failure to learn from history once more?? -
@C7RKY Always - some always tempted to skate closer to the edge than is wise, thinking there are bigger profits there and they won't fall. -
@paulrogers002 It feels like wanton ignorance this time around to me though - which starts me asking why? Some strange answers on that path! - 6 more replies
