    So we have worthless money, backed by nothing,

    buying long term bonds, backed by nothing. It's

    like fishing with an invisible hook , an imaginary

    worm and a missing line and pole.The only thing

    worthy of value in this confused world is Charmin Toilet

    paper and a lot of it to assuage the bottom line.

    gold is also just a lump of metal. odd how one could consider
    that to be money let alone paper bills. one could list all the failed
    currencies used over the centuries.. and heh. gold failed too bear.
    the proof is in the honey. what country on this planet still uses gold
    to back their currency? oh. there is none. thanks for playing.

    The Swiss back their money with gold and silver.

    I do believe that we are in for a very difficult 3-5 years.

    To think that my youngest son is getting married in September.

    Well, at least they will have Poppa Bear as financial back up.

    The only problem, GULP, who backs up Poppa Bear!image

    The Swiss franc has historically been considered a safe haven currency with virtually zero inflation and a legal requirement that a minimum 40% be backed by gold reserves.[4] However, this link to gold, which dates from the 1920s, was terminated on 1 May 2000 following a referendum regarding the Nazi gold affair with Swiss banks and an amendment to the Swiss Constitution.[5] By March 2005, following a gold selling program, the Swiss National Bank held 1,290 tonnes of gold in reserves which equated to 20% of their assets.[6]

    many countries have gold bullion stored away that may be a large
    percentage of their assets.. but what you are speaking of is history.
