I tried six different ways to start my comment, but was invariably lead down a thousand avenues of thought.
Suffice to say this; The US dollar is a rigged game, and everything that is traded in those dollars is rigged. Rig away Uncle Ben, print those greenbacks 'til your hearts content, play your little game 'til the clock strikes twelve..., for when the music stops, those with things of real value will be the only ones with a chair.
What is of real value? Ask anyone from Zimbabwe who carts a wheelbarrow-full of fiat notes to the poorly stocked market. He'll tell you it's the loaf of bread, the gallon of clean drinking water, or the goat that provides his family with milk.
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to realise that an un-backed fiat currency is a recipe for disaster. Not if, it is when. I think it is better to have gold and silver, no matter the current whimsical 'price', the more the better.
