In USA today theres a big article about gold,saying that if we return to the gold standard there would be problems due to there not being enough gold to back all the money needed.The article says that governments can manipulate the market price of gold by buying and selling it on the open market.It doesn't have to be just the US government.So my point exactly.China has enough gold to keep the price low I would think.triffid

Willy, I hope you still have enough wild game to eat when there are thousands of people trapping,hunting,and fishing along beside you.I'm all for hidden gardens.Im for hidden wealth too.Ugly wealth too.Not too many people think about that one(ugly wealth).A good example is property with IRS tax liens against it.Back in 1991 I had a chance to buy a farm in mo.for only $3,000 but it had a 6,000 dollar IRS tax lien against it.It scared me off then.But not now.triffid
