If Gold was going to boom, do you think they would be shilling it all of the time? Or would those Gold companies hold onto their gold and sell it later?

Those who are selling essentially don’t own any gold, any more than minimal inventory. They’re RETAILERS who profit from the transaction.

Or do you think that realtors are hypocrites for trying to sell houses when they should be holding on to them?

I’m amazed that intelligent Freepers come up with this argument so often.

I see a false assumption on your part.

My favorite "intelligent" argument is the one that sees no possible variation in collapse scenarios. It's either status quo or The Road: The "you can't eat gold argument".
