Right, because gold doesn't fluctuate!
Gold is fluctuating in terms of the dollar because it is once again returning to its true value which it has not been allowed to do because of international manipulations.
Wow, international manipulations. How can it be manipulated if it is stable?
I suspect that if you had to choose between holding an ounce of gold for forty years with no interest earned or holding the equivalent in paper dollars for the same time with no interest earned you would have sense enough to choose the gold.
Holding paper dollars for 40 years with no interest is just as stupid as claiming that gold is the only real store of value.

I knew you wouldn't deal directly with what I said, you couldn't possibly be stupid enough to hold the paper dollars, hell even if I grant you the prospect of drawing interest and you pay taxes on the interest you would still come out in the hole and you know it.
