Vietnam Suspends Gold Imports, Follows FDR's Great Depression Lead

please! there is absolutely no reason to believe that we are that close to the end of time. if gold goes up, no one in our gov't will care. the dollar is not linked to it, is not backed by it and does not care whether anyone wants to buy gold and hoard it to the end of time. our money may be inflating or deflating, depending on what you buy. if the dollar becomes stronger for a year or two, you gold bugs will be losing value while you should be earning money. don't let these fanatics talk you into buying gold. you can't buy a burger with gold, you can't fill your tank with gold, you won't even find a dentist who uses it anymore, you can't wear it around your neck for fear that someone will yank it off, what stinking good is it? better to buy a share in an gasoline club or a farmer's market or a timeshare. for that matter, if you think that dollars are going to be flying around in wheelbarrows, buy some property and pay it off with much cheaper dollars as time goes on. oh, can't do that can you, well, that's because property values are going down. the time to buy gold was when property values were headed up. look out below!
