Gold Investing Look Away Now  (1)
"Gold doesn't pay any interest..."
If you leave it buried in the garden, then that is true.
If you invest it with Monetary Metals, then my account statement informs me that it is not true.

Chill out, gold-dudes  (5)
Nice response Bron and I agree that we gold aficionados are too few in number to bicker amongst ourselves.

Hyperventilation Charade: EU Demands Another €2.1 Billion from UK, "We Won't Pay," Says Furious Came
Cui bono? The EU does not wish to see Cameron weakened and Farage strengthened. The rise of UKIP is a major worry to the EU.
I think that Cameron will emerge as the man who forced Brussels to back down.
If Cameron can be recast as a PM of strength with regard to the EU (don't laugh), then there will be much less reason to vote for Farage and UKIP.
Invent a sum owed and then cancel it under the pres...

How the Free Market Ends Discrimination  (5)
Jim C's comment/criticism is an absurd attempt to grossly misrepresent DiLorenzo and this article.
Either it is a deliberate attempt to not understand, or 'Jim C.' has never read a word that DiLorenzo has written.
Either way it comes across as very petulant.

 Terry Coxon - Casey Resarch
Myths and Realities of Returning to a Gold Standard
Not so Mr Coxon.
A contract using gold as the settlement (in the US) has no validity under law.
Second, your tax HAS to be paid in dollars, not gold.
A sloppy piece that I stopped reading.

In Defense of the Corporation  (6)
Spot on. The corruption and denigration of the meaning of Capitalism is of Orwellian proportions. The State coerced and regulated system that has created this unfolding nightmare is no form of Capitalism at all.
Worldwide we are witnessing the culmination of a major war of ideas that makes it necessary for all freedom loving and decent people to stand up and be counted. This requires the diligent explorat...

 James Turk - Goldmoney
Some Answers to Doug Casey’s Questions  (7)
The concept of a ‘price of gold’ is wholly misleading. In any science there is both the measure and that which is measured. The monetary science is no different. Gold (a store of stable value over time) is the measure, not the measured. Value is what gold measures, the value of paper money included.
It is paper money that is being manipulated, specifically confidence in paper money. To achieve this end ...

 Steve Saville - Speculative Investor
Why changes in Gold production don’t matter  (5)
An excellent correction to some common misconceptions. I would quibble with one point though...
Allowing for a stock of 140,000 tonnes and a flow of 2,400 tonnes, and assuming a theoretical cessation of flow, does not give a remaining supply of either 7,000 days or 13,000 days. The whole reason that the stock to flow ratio is so large is that very little of the gold flow is 'consumed'. The consumption fig...

Understanding Unallocated  (1)
I don't know where you get the patience to keep explaining this Bron! Nevertheless, it is an excellent analogy. Cheers, Philip
