Gold at $250 an ounce?

If I had the money I would buy a pound of it at the price.

If and when gold drops down to $250 / Oz., I will stop drinking Scotch for an entire year and purchase an even ton of gold instead. I’ll make up for the lack of Scotch by drinking Tequilla instead.

My grandfather told me many many years ago, he said, "dware, back in the gold rush days, an ounce of gold would buy you a good tailored men's suit. Today, and ounce of gold will buy you a good tailored men's suit."

I think he was tryin to learn me a lesson about investing in gold. He's still right...an ounce of gold will buy you a good men's tailored suit.

The thing that is going to jump up between now and then (”a funny thing happened on the way to $250”): people all over the world, all of a sudden, all at once, cease to believe in the value of the $whatevercurrency. It happens almost overnight.
