The Really Useful Gold Thread

post 21819 - excellent article. Basically fiat paper will crash because it's crap and gold will become a great investment.

Haven't we seen this effect allready to a huge extent? In property in the UK with very limited buildable land supply and ever increasing population I think for the last decade people have wanted to get out of paper money investments and buy something tangeable and property fitted the bill completely.

I just can't ever see joe public ever swapping £5k for a dozen gold coins.
