. . . says Bank of America to Venezuela

As one commenter noted, "It's quite sad when Venezuela's Central Bank demonstrates more transparency with its assets than The Federal Reserve."

The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    Lets try to get this thread some traction...

    Gold accounts for about 71 percent of Venezuela’s $21.4 billion of foreign reserves

    Venezuela has $21 billion. Apple has $130 billion.

    Interesting..

    I believe the point is they are willing to open the vault for an audit of what gold they do have. Interesting. image

    They should be embarrassed that they hold so little.

    A newbie stock trader will often boast of his returns while a seasoned veteran will not.

    A good read

    …from a couple years ago.
    Or paraphrasing a dictator communist : "You know it's the Capitalist's fault."

    It's not surprising Venezuela has Gold, Chavez was a gold "enthusiast" as well as an above average conspiracy theorist, of course, he made a big political story about bringing it in from the US. and JP Morgan when gold was 20% higher.

    Shockingly a few here speculated, this would cause a major reaction, Ok that's not shocking, JK..
