Maybe, just maybe, people have finally figured out that all that hoopla about gold being the one true last-ditch commodity was no more than ad copy from people who sell gold.
And they've also found that gold is pretty worthless for wiping your butt - or even buying Spam.
I don't recall anyone of any standing ever calling gold
the one true last-ditch commodity
.
Commodites are valuable by nature. Corn can be as valuable as gold, but I don't want even $1000 worth in my pocket.
