Sign of the times

Gold, Gold, Gold!!!

Well, let’s break it down. When people believe the economy is in danger or at risk, they buy gold. Personally, I find that somewhat amusing but I’m not an expert, apparently. In the beginning of the rise of US currency, it was so widely respected because every dollar was backed by gold. Over the years as we printed more and more money, we lost the gold standard. However, the dollar remained valuable because everyone believed in it.
