Gold will remain a valuable and important source of stability as long as rational people want it and accept it as payment for goods and services. It has been a central tenet of the Left that it is nothing more than a metal historically favored by the unenlightened. History has shown they have been wrong.

I know they've said it until they and all "enlightened opinion" turned blue in the face, but they know it's a lie and a con, intended to con the unsophisticated. Stealing gold from those folks by hook, crook, or swindle is a major preoccupation despite the Enlightened Ones' deprecatory mouthings.

LOL! Even accepting that premise, there never has been a shortage of 'unenlightened' people, so gold will retain value.
