RE:RE: A return to the Gold Standard?The canary in the coal mine is most likely Bitcoin. Jamie Diamond is right. It's a fraud, not backed by anything of value, a real Ponzi scheme. When that goes, and it will, the markets will shutter a bit, both equity and credit. Gold, the grandfather of Bitcoin, will then become the investment of choice. What's old will be new again. That's when we can see the $5K ounce the pundits are predicting. Can you imagine what we'll be worth in the eyes of the market if we've already have proven up 4-5 million Carlin ounces? Hey, in the early 80's, guys like us went from under a buck to $80-$90 per share. Could happen again....
