Those details don't really matter. The fact is that sooner or later the Arabs and the Chinese aren't going to want our toilet paper anymore. Some third party will come to you and buy your gold. Meanwhile some other party will pay gold to get that oil and big screen TV's. Also if there is a big dump in the gold price, there will also be a big dump in commodity prices, so it's not a bad idea to trade in some gold for toilet paper at some point (although that point is still out of view)
Really?
If some 3rd party comes for your gold, they’ll be better armed than you!
