If the economy is doing so well now, or we’ve turned the corner, or whatever happy talk the pontificating fools financial experts at CNBC, etc. are saying to describe our current state of economic affairs, then why is the price of gold nearly $1,100 an ounce? You would think people would be pulling their money out of this traditional hedge and rushing back into the stock market if everything the financial optimists at Wall Street are touting as signs that we’re back on track was really true. Then again, maybe they don’t know their head from their buttocks, which all things considered wouldn’t be a great surprise now would it.
