So if you’re looking to gold as a safe-haven play, it makes sense to stick to the most conservative ownership options. When you buy gold as insurance, you are looking to at a minimum preserve your purchasing power — and hopefully increase it relative to many other consumer goods and services.

  • The only mania and madness of the people was in trusting the words of demagogues and conmen, and their associated supporters and enablers.
