Remember the parable of King Midas.

I’ll stay simple and grow food.... That’s the true gold.

It would be like selling your silverware to buy new dinnerware.

I think our economy is basically being held up by our future energy potential already.

Our current national debt is (I believe) close to the aggregate value of our proven reserves, if you count fracking shale plays.

Why would you sell it now, when oil prices are already in the toilet?

Because there has probably been as much fraud by the feral government with the oil reserves as there has been with the gold allegedly held by the Federal Reserve.

Maybe better to wait until BHO is gone. If there is any new influx of money now, BHO will find a way to steal it for his progressive cronies.

With Russia threatening global nuclear war again, now is not the time to be getting rid of the stockpile.

As if any gold would actually make it into Ft. Knox.

Oil has bottomed out. Not the time to sell. Besides, we need it. Never ever sell off what we might need come the next World War.

Because oil is too cheap right now. We should be buying oil

Because you can fly planes, and drive hummers, trucks and tanks on oil (products).

Other than electronics, gold has no value except for what the recipient thinks it’s worth.

Fresh water, food and medicine will be the leverage in the next decades.

As soon as we figure out how to burn gold in a crisis, that would be a great idea.

Why doesn’t the U.S. flood Europe and Asia with cheap oil and crash that duplicitous Saudis

Drive down the price of oil so fracking is no longer viable and drive up the price of gold. Sounds like a lose-lose.

We need oil independence for the upcoming war(s) with Russia and OPEC nations. I don’t think we are betting on the Saudi royalty lasting for long.
