Don’t Sweat the Correction in Gold

Jeff Clark — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:42:16 +0000

I’ve told more than one concerned investor that when the gold price falls, they should “come back in three months” and see if they’re still worried.

Armageddon Can Wait

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:43:45 +0000

Until August 15, 1971, wealth was tallied in units of a real and natural thing – gold. It measured out the world’s other real things – its resources and its output. Its main advantage was that it couldn’t be diddled. That turned the authorities against it; they couldn’t make more of it. Nuestra Senora de [...]
