If so, WHY did you post it?
I mean, YOU posted links to those "the dollar will collapse" videos. You either BELIEVE that or your posts are just deliberate BS. It's one or the other.

Just like the other goldbug who refused to answer questions to back his theories up, I think we've figured out the theoretical limitations of goldbugs in general. Their theories have not come to pass, and will not come to pass. The only thing the goldbugs have got right was that the real estate bubble was going to pop, but everyone that wasn't so emotionally invested into their portfolio would have figured that out

If you are clever enough or lucky enough to get in and get out while gold is riding up then good for anyone who does - but the whole gold bug "gold is the only real money", "gold can't crash" BS is just that - ignorant BS. Gold is simply a commodity - and like any commodity, it can go up quick and come down just as quick (and it does and will). There's NOTHING somehow "magical" about gold that renders it immune to the same fads and manias that happen to other commodities.

Why do you keep attributing quotes to me that I've never written?

For example, when did I write that gold was "magical"?

And of course gold can "crash"; who said it couldn't???

If you're going to obsessively attack gold holders at least be accurate about what they've said.

What "theories" are you talking about?

I think the anti-gold crowd hates to actually listen to what gold realists say and just make up their own imaginary "gold bug" templates and stereotypes.

I guess its easier to debate a straw-man than a real person, huh?

You claimed I said the dollar will collapse.

But you have no evidence that I ever said that.

Don't try to backtrack now.

If you have a problem with what somebody said in some video then you need to contact that person and whine to them.

In other words you are now taking NO responsibility for WHAT YOU POST (YOU posted the link - it didn't "magically" appear there).
So much for the philosophy of "personal responsibility".
More like the philosophy of "it's only personal responsibility when it's SOME OTHER person".
It's pretty dang sad when you won't even stand up for what YOU post - but on the other hand we now know to take NOTHING you post seriously - since apparently even YOU don't believe what you post.
It figures.
I'll remember that.

Ken

I have no idea what you're talking about now.

At least before your rantings had a semblance of logic.

I stand by my posts. I do in fact believe gold should be a sensible part of everyone's portfolio.

What exactly did I post that you disagree with then maybe we can go from there.
