who cares about gold a century from now?
That farm land might well be a dustbowl.
and history supports the idea that exxon might well not be around
True that Dougie. Exxon will eventually be gone, so owning 16 of them or 2000 of them won't help you. Gold is forever. The fact that gold and silver can be cornered by a Country, China alone with 3.5 trillion could scoop up 1/3rd of all gold in the World or what would it take to corner silver? If such an attempt could be made would be the most powerful Country in the World. Since most all technology is dependent on these metals. Farmland is not rare, the USA and its 200 mil. acres are not alone. Power and control will come from those who own something that is cornerable. If the Hunt Bros. or China or Russia cornered silver, how much could silver sell for? Could this happen? At current prices, with the amount of cheap paper floating around on the planet, why wouldnt it happen?
