Do I really have to point out that a capital gain, even if highly taxed, is still BETTER OFF than having made no gain at all?!

No but this is an implicit admission that I am not free to leave the dollar as you have claimed. No matter what asset I choose, I am punished for the mistakes of others while not sharing in their profit. Sure, I *reduce* my risk exposure by moving to another asset but I am still responsible for what happens with the helicopter money despite the fact they aren't dropping it in my yard.

Get it? I think you do but can't bear to agree with me on anything.

How can you say that?

You can trade ALL of your Dollars for gold or land if you want.

You can take all of your gold overseas if you want.

So how does that lock you in to the Dollar as you claim above?

What I am pointing out is that the Dollar is the best of most worlds; you get infinite flexibility along with the ability to store your wealth in any other vehicle (if any) of your choosing.
