The (Not So) Brave New World

The share market is a strange, enigmatic indicator. Despite what many people believe, it does not indicate the health of an economy as much as it indicates peoples' perceptions of the economy. But still, as an indicator we should see what it tells us. There are primarily three types of investors: those who gamble (mostly other people's money) based on their limited understanding of the economy and how it will impact company share prices; those who blindly follow what the share market is doing and; those who know what is going to happen and make money on the share market (the Rothschilds, George Soros and other Elite).

What is the real value of gold?  Gold is a relatively rare metal and has a number of qualities that seem to make it irresistible to humans - it has a shiny lustre, it does not tarnish, it has good electrical conductive properties, it can easily be combined with other metals to form alloys and it is very malleable allowing it to be formed into complex shapes, thin sheets or wires. But do these qualities alone make gold so precious? Are th
