Can you show me the actual plans/documents that actually state this policy?

I could but then I'd have to kill you and who wants to live the rest of their existence on this forum with the stigma of the guy who killed our fuzzy wuzzy Nanook?

Gold is always a wise investment. The trick is to invest when the prices are fair.

Those who bought in at the peak in 1980 died before they broke even.

Nah. You couldn't show me the policies. You probably "read between the lines" and follow religiously to the website of your leanings. You don't know where to look. It's all unclassified, but you wouldn't have known that because you immediately assumed that it's written by a bunch of chump military types. Probably would blow your mind that there is a lot of liberals who publish those papers. I'll give you a hint in a google search: Use "Monterey" in your string of words. You are on your own for the others.

Everyone. I'm just as unpopular as you are

Well, that goes somewhere in the top ten most asinine statements I've read on this site.

Pity to be them.

Tell me kelpdiver,
Considering this metals relative worthlesness for creating pottery,plowshares or weaponry, why do you think ancient cultures around the globe started collecting gold?

To create beautiful things. In many, there was no monetary value to them. In fact, they were surprised that the conquistadors was so enamored by it.

Interesting to me that just in recent history we've realized the value of gold as a conductor and now it is widely used in computers,etc.

Acient cultures really had no use for gold ,other than as you stated ornamental items.

So why did they go to such great lengths to stockpile this commodity?
And not just on one continent but globaly !!

Any ideas?

Because it is easily malleable and it shines. A lot less work than other metals. Motivation is universal in the human being.

Grossly understated, but correct.

There is no metallic substance as mallible or as resistant to corrosion than gold.

Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces.

Often it's in electronics as a marketing tactic, rather than on its merits. Copper is usually the better choice. Silver also conducts better, and of course is still cheaper.

And both corrode.
