"Without gold, trust, do you trust the logic of having a pine tree, worth $ 4,000 – $ 5,000, cutting up, making into pulp, putting some ink on it to print money, buy gold … "

The more I thought about it … the most sense.

There has been much publicity recently about how investors are walking from their conventional assets, such as chip stocks and government bonds, and addressing a "Gold", although on the surface seems to be no increase for that decision.

Although the London Stock Exchange's main index (FTSE-100) has lost 15% in the last 8 years the companies comprising the FTSE-100 typically pay dividends often more than 5%.

Compare a yield of 5% to 0% Gold currently pay … Gold 0% or has paid in history … or 0% would pay in the future.

Again, I ask "why" investors are moving in droves to what they believe is the safety of gold?

Could it be those "in the know" have lost faith in central banks the world and especially the U.S. Federal Reserve where the machines are spitting out new money at a staggering rate?

Some say the price increase Gold is the result of temporary anxiety of our current global instability … Gold is a safe haven in troubled times … but when our house is called "Earth" It was a peaceful dwelling free of turbulence and uncertainty?

I think what is upsetting investors is not the war in Iraq, but the speed at which the money is printed by our governments.

Last month (January 2008) BBC World Editor John Simpson, reported from Zimbabwe the cost of a meal for him and some $ 290,000,000 friends in Zimbabwe … he left a tip of ten million dollars.

In the country's economic state, as Simpson said, "everyone is a millionaire, but also grindingly poor.

This is what happens when a currency collapses. Zimbabwe is the end of a journey all too wasteful government trips. Is the current price of gold to send a warning that other governments, especially the United States is somewhere to along a similar path?

Gold has been a store of value for over 5,000 years … How many currencies have come and gone in for many years? Gold is rare … paper money is not.

Inflation destroys the currency and the two most successful currencies, the U.S. dollar and the British pound lost, each more than 95% of its value in the last 100 years.

In 1971 President Nixon broke the formal link the U.S. dollar with gold and since then U.S. has created thousands of millions of "new" dollars out of nowhere to allow Americans to accumulate debt of consumers to buy "items essential. "still wonders why the U.S. dollar is under attack?

For comparison the supply of gold is finite.

Financial Peter Burshre commentator noted: "Regardless of the dollar price involved, one ounce of gold buy a good quality man in a suit at the conclusion War of Independence, the Civil War, President Franklin Roosevelt and today. "

"Practically all governments of history," said Friedrich von Hayek, have used their exclusive power to issue money to defraud and plunder the people. " The gold is in the way of this process, is a protector property rights.

Although some who consider themselves "sophisticated" brush gold by investors as "old news", millions of "ordinary". Investors know better.

Some may remember a quote from Adolf Hitler: "Gold is not necessary. I have no interest on gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set price, which is off to a concentration camp. That is the bastion of money. "

I do not remember exactly how long the Third Reich was about, but I do know that gold is still here.

Nothing is going "up" forever, but to equal November 1980 peak of $ 846 The price today would have to reach $ 2,500.
