South Africa Still Shines Among Emerging Markets

In case any of you think I am being overly harsh in calling the ANC the South African Communist party, then take a look at these photos:

South Africa Still Shines Among Emerging Markets

If South Africa were not controlled by the SA Communist Party aka. ANC, it would not be an "emerging economy," it would still be a "first world economy."

It was a "first world" country until 20 years ago the "world community" led by Reagan and the US put sanctions on the country. Yes, apartheid was bad, but (a) that is their business and (b) many Africans migrating from other African countries into SA did not seem to mind it as much as staying at home and starving because of some US-foreign aid propped-up dictator.

If Americans could only realize how much misery and desperation their tax money creates around the world.

Are you referring to what you call the "intrinsic" value of gold? Or do you think that this is what you will pay up front for gold?
