Everyone seems to be trashing gold.  If you would like another perspective run a
chart of gold in D-Marks, Yen, The Russian Ruble, or any other currency then the
dollar.  You can do the same with oil or any other commodity that is traded in
dollars.  You will note that all those charts show gold as an excellent buy if
you can't purchase US dollars, as one can't do in many countries.  Ira.
