SHORT EURO !!! Germany try to implement penal servitude in Europe,

Quote from zdreg:

""the government completely controls gold and always has. With one stroke of the pen they can confiscate it""
the statement is prima facie nonsense. the government cannot confiscate. people will give a thousand excuses what happened to their gold. gold will become the alternative currency, if the $US dollar is recognized only as fiat i.e. a worthless piece of paper.
ok, if you say so, like I said just look what happened to pot. There was a time when you could freely buy it sell it grow it and smoke it. What happened? You are correct, they can never stop the black market in gold, but they can drive it underground and make any holder a criminal.

outlawing it will make it even more valuable.
 
But on a more serious note, There's a formula in the book, if we were to just back up 40% of M1 money supply with gold, which isn't that radical an idea, we've done it in the past and that would still give the FED plenty of leeway to print to their hearts content based on their supeirior knowledge of what's about to come, that would put the fair value at about $2500/oz.

no kidding, if pot was legal even I could afford it

based upon you handle price should not be too meaningful if u develop cataract of the eyes.

Quote from PhillipPen:

My grandfather hid Deutsch Marks in the woods buried and now I keep my gold in my safe, in the woods, buried :D

Just how it can get. My father used to hide cash in the basement, idot did not realized that it getS mold on it after some time. If he would have gone with some other investment vehicle it would not have been a loss. What a typical kraut. Gold is always wealth protection in any financial climate. Fiat currencies manipulated by nation states always end badly. That is why China is smart by pegging thier currency. The leadedrship in the EU is delusional and has a bad case of grandiosity. They will buckle under the might of China. One things you can count on in times of desperation, European leaders always let the populus take it before the oligarchs do. Change the titles and it still the old fuedal system.
