I'll buy the egg, esp if it came from Amby.

I wouldn't buy it.... unless the chocolate was super delicious.

[Arun+Catie 1]

No. I'll invest my money in land.

Besides, I don't get how investing in gold is so wonderful. When the ####### hits the fan, who's going to be buying the gold you invested in?

Does nobody find it rather odd that in this day and age there is still a gold standard? I mean, the stuff is shiny and all, but really.

Well, it's a relatively scarce substance of universally-recognized value...

In Ancient Rome, a one-ounce gold coin would buy you a fine toga, a leather belt, and a nice pair

of sandals.

Today, if you sell a one-ounce gold coin for about $900, you can buy a fine suit, a leather belt,

and a nice pair of shoes.

I'd say that's a pretty good record.

That sounds good on the surface, but in Ancient Rome and elsewhere, most people did not have an ounce of gold. Today, there are many more people; and in a larger proportion, more that have the equivalent buying power.
