People will intrisically place value on certain items, whether its gold,
ammo or livestock. Trade will happen... that is as sure as a sunrise.

Debating gold with someone who repeatedly writes "Kugeran" instead of
"Krugerrand" is a massive waste of time.

For once you got something right. Well, at least you're smart enough
to recognize when you've lost an argument. Too bad you're too arrogant
to admit it.

You may want to consult a dictionary.

Based upon your recent misreading of attributions perhaps?
Right. Just keep telling yourself that as you develop your hilltop
pumped-storage hydro idea.
You were clueless as to the capital costs of building an impoundment which
would provide adequete flow. As you lectured me that I was telling you
things that were so basic I was insulting you, I was politely dropping
hints that you were missing half the equation. "You need both head and
flow", I told you, but you were too full of your foolish idea to even
realize what you were being told. <> went my polite hint, right
over your head.
More recently, you claimed that your equity positions made you a "banker".
Keep going, Tim. You are one of the most entertaining posters here. Your
arrogance/ignorance ratio keeps us coming back for more.

All the more reason to learn about metals and how to
wheel and deal.
The New World Order boys are not stockpiling dollar bills. The
World Bank and IMF didn't steal most of the gold from every
nation on the planet for nothing.

If TSHTF you won't be dealing with banks or stores, you'll be
dealing with me and I'll take your Krugerand.
