For the short term utility of precious metals, I am in total agreement with you - I think we differ in our long-range assumptions of what our futures hold.

And, you can bet your (rock) bottom dollar that the government is keeping tabs on where the gold is flowing to - are there SECURITY concerns one should consider before metals investment? For those who are taking the advice of Green and others, who have no problem in participating in a future economy based on the same principles (just different tools) of the old, are those folks opening themselves up to unpleasant government scrutiny? If China and Russia do dump the floating basket and get back to metals (which I seriously doubt they will), would that cause the U.S. government to enact limitations/restrictions/confiscations?
