WE don't make it valuable. It is valuable in the marketplace because of its rarity, durability, and illustrious presence - sort of like Natalie Dylan . . . minus the durability.

Hmmmm

A one-time shot at saving the American Economy?

QUICKLY - Get the demographers to tally America's reserve of 22 year old attractive virgins compared with virgin reserves of all other countries!

This may be the chance we've been looking for.

Might be the ultimate bargaining chip in defusing Islamic suicide terrorists.

One small step towards peace in the Mid East?

Of course, if I were Natalie's Financial Advisor, I would strongly recommend that she receive payment only in gold.

It might lend back some of her lost durability.

all of those things that you listed are determined by us. So yes it is made valuable by us. water is much more valuable isnt it. food is much more vaulable. once again objects that are not needed for life are deemed valuable because we make it. I am looking at it has needs and wants and gold is a want. Ill take the great lakes over gold any day samething with fields.

Gold is not a renewable resource, like water. Gold is money , real money on the word scale. Those that have it , as a hedge , will always be rich. Don't put it in the same category as other wants and needs, unless , of coarse you have no use for money.......

i did not know that water is renewable. i mean i did know that you can create it with some h2 and some and little bit of energy but cant that be the same with gold just takes a little bit more energy. money is what humans make it. money is a scale not a substance. you can only make something of value if you value it. that is my point. gold is only as valuable as we make it. I now understand why we dont back up our economy with precious metals because it works the same way. just because you think something is worth 5 dollars doesnt mean i do. do you understand what i am trying to say?

Try paying your college tuition to the University of Washington with water from Lake Superior. They might not accept gold either, but they would accept a negotiable instrument converted from the gold, like a cashier's check (depends on which bank), or possibly even Federal Reserve Notes.

Water from Lake Superior isn't cheap to transport, and damn it, it evaporates - almost as quickly as the value of Federal Reserve notes in 2008-2009. Gold is very portable and doesn't evaporate - or corrode like GM stock certificates, hence its value as money.

Money is defined as something that has an intrinsic value that is easily recognizable as valuable to just about everyone, is durable, and is easily portable.

Aside from the apple and oranges discussion here about what Gold is worth , there are places that value gold more so , than women in this country value diamonds. India is the best example. Gold is rooted deep in their culture , a must have for a bride to be , or a family's net worth in society....and , India has the second largest population in the world, or , the largest depending on how you measure it. Just one example , of , the personal value of gold , outside , the intrinsic value as the worlds real money. Everyone should have some in their portfolio , just in case.......

So you agree with me then.
