GOLD

If you watch TV with any frequency as I do you might have noticed the recent
hysterical efforts to sell you gold by three or four heretofore unknown companies.
Several questions suggest themselves to your bemused blogger.
1) Where did they all of a sudden get all this endless supply of gold ?
2) Why, if is such a great investment do they want to sell ?

Suspicion : Maybe it isn't such a good investment after all. Perhaps they are trying to unload at the present high price before an expected crash in gold price. Time will tell.

Another possibility : As you know, the US has a large stash of gold in Fort Knox
Are they dumping this stash through these gold selling companies ? Hmm- I wonder.

True or false trivia question: All the gold ever mined would fit in an average apartment.
