RE:Conglomerates lol, wishful thinking at it's punniest ;^)
I was watching CNBS this morning on the BH purchase, a collective panel of poo-poo'ers:
1) Wasn't likely WB, as per the article, who is totally right about gold, btw.
2) Barrick made $5B last year, and $700MM so far this year (Snoopes.com fact check please, lol)
3) No mention that gold is not just a commodity, but a TIER I monetary asset according to the BIS
Lots of head shaking in confusion by the talking heads... like... why? Dum dum dum dumb.
