Exactly. Germany faces negative rates and numbers and they are in the worst position since 1957. They have the biggest debt in Europe IIRC, but they have strong economy on the other hand. Also, they have a lot of gold stored, even more than China.
F@#% gold. People act like it has some intrinsic value that goes beyond time and space. That's bullcrap. Gold is subject to speculations like tulips, commercial real estate, subprime mortgages, and dot-com stocks. Sure, you can't "make" more of it, but you can certain mine more.
Anything has a value in this world not because of the object itself, but because someone else is willing to place a value on it. The whole idea of gold as this monetary stability savior is an illusion. Gold makes people think they can hide from market forces who can place higher or lower values on their property, which is completely delusional. The best gold serves is as a hedge and nothing more.
It's not just Germany, it's high-profitable corporation pulling the strings. I bet they are going to own 50% of Greece when they 'sell it'.
This smells like Goldman Sachs' shit stains are involved.
Klinton changed the law in 2000, he fucked up a lot when he allowed commercial banks to invest in high risk bonds.
Yep. That opened the doors to at least the stock bubble, housing bubble, the oil/commodities bubble, and the debt refinancing scams of the past decade.
