Possible realistic scenarios where PP's gold allocation becomes useful

Post by Indices »

I'd like to throw open a discussion to the forum members where they list realistic scenarios where all hell breaks loose and the gold portion of the PP saves the day.

Germany between the wars, Argentina a couple times in the last twenty years, USA in the 1970's, Iceland VERY recently.  I recommend "This time is different" by Reinhart & Rogoff for a more complete list.
