How many had the sense and wisdom today to do as Baron Rothschild instructed, to buy when the blood was in the streets as it flowed fairly freely today?

Instead, The Street and other shining lights of financial sagacity sanctimoniously intone, no bellow, that "Gold Plummets as Investors Scramble for Cash." Second verse same as the first. The poor paper-addicted marks do this time after time as the real masters of the financial universe snatch up both bullion and the mining shares for insane prices, veritably pennies on the dollar, guaranteenig their increasing wealth as the rest, the poor, reliably dim-witted sheeple who can always be counted upon to make the wrong move, edge ever closer to poverty.

Who in their right mind "scrambles" for cash? It is racing to the bottom in purchasing power faster and faster and faster in all currencies as even the Swiss destroy the purchasing power of their once vaunted franc. And the "cash" is not even absorbent to boot. Even toilet paper is more valuable.

But if that's what the masses want, let them eat cake, er, cash. Meanwhile, those still endowed with a brain and a cool and steady hand will choose the real money over the counterfeit every time.
