I think the case is closed, or it should be closed. But with firmly ingrained perceptions passed down from one generation of inflationist gold bugs to the next, you never know. Remember the old dismissive “gold is silver is copper is tin is oil is hogs” line from...

NOTE- In “real life”, whatever that is- I tend to be a very optimistic person.  Yet, I grew up around others who lived in a different time when things were not so great.  These loved ones taught me to always look at the “down side”, first, to always evaluate “risk”...
