Does Gold Ever Pay? - Adrian Ash - Bullion Vault

Sigh...gold is insurance - it is meant to preserve wealth...if it adds wealth, great, but people should not invest in gold as they do in stocks. As for the numbers used for anything these days, it gets one nowhere in establishing price. Between debasement and the tricks used (most of which defy logic), it is difficult to compare gold (spot) to other phony numbers and indexes. Take the leveraged long/shorts. ETFs, certificates, and other paper out of gold valuation, and the number would be higher. Who even knows accurately what a USD id worth - it certainly has people leaving its world reserve position in droves - not to mention the dumping using sovereign wealth, hedge and mutual (institutional) by many countries --- now only 60% or so of trade is via the petro dollar.

Government numbers are bad enough but mark to mark versus market valuations plus dark pools leave us with NO benchmarks. In valuing gold or silver, use ounces, because nobody know what an ounce of bullion is worth, any more than they do a currency when measured against a bizarre little basket of currencies. We are all acting out a fiction. It makes me feel silly, and I avoid it whenever possible...as I do with elastic tard sticks. What an idiotic period in financial history.
