GOLD and US Dollar up strongly in recent weeks... at the same time? Aren't they Kryptonite to each other?
That is curious, isn’t it. I’m happy for technovelist.
The dollar is supposedly up because the economy looks strong. Gold— take your pick. Purchases in India? Anticipation of rate cuts?

Sorry, what is the Bernanke quote?
From memory:
Ron Paul: do you consider gold to be money?
Ben bernanke: no. I mean it’s an asset. Would you consider treasury bills to be money?
(Later)
Ron Paul: why don’t you hold diamonds then?
Ben bernanke: … it’s tradition

To the moon!
2800.70 right now.

Big drop. Time to buy more?
I ordered my first platinum coin the other day. Waiting for gold to fall.

I generally agree, but with our debt situation I feel like its still got room to move.
Won't break my heart if it pulls back $1,000. I'd just buy more. Long term, in this country with both Trump and Harris spending plans, gold is going to become a very important asset.
