    Is this a celebration of the 10th anniversary of that piece that you link to? If so you're a little early.

    I could blast a huge hole in para 1 of the article if I could be bothered as could anyone who can count.

    Presumably counting is one of those things that the Lizard People/Jews/Rothschilds/Hugonauts have frigged in order to keep you mental.

    Just saying.

    Wish you well. Hopefully the treatments will come good for you.

    But it doesn't matter whether governments manipulate the gold price or not, does it? It's still the right time to buy gold. It's always the right time to buy gold.

    You could be on to something here - we use base 10 because we have 10 fingers...but how many fingers do lizards have? If you count in base 6 then suddenly the only thing that makes sense is gold.....gold I say
    I think....

    What is most shocking ?

    That someone is dumb enough to write this crap, or that someone is dumb enough to believe it ???

    ........or that I was dumb enough to waste 5 minutes reading this drivel :eek:

    Where have you gone Gen?

    I was looking forward to your critique of what was said in the "first paragraph"

    Ok, think about it this way.

    Why would a change in US unemployment have a direct causal link to the gold price?

    Pretty much all market reporting uses these terms and it's rubbish. There are thousands of reasons for asset prices to change.

    WOW, that's a massive hole you blasted there Gen.

    I'm impressed. All that economics study obviously wasn't wasted.
