"it's contained"

you mean like this?; http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/make-your-own-opoly/index.html

no, not 'till we get to sub 100.

see you at Princeton, loser +1 holding gold has done me well (financially) the last ~5 years and I suspect that will continue to be the case for a few more years - but I do find it weird that events are unfolding in such a way that means (one of) the best thing(s) for me to do is hold most of my savings in something for which I have absolutely no use for - but hey, it's a f*****-up world and I don't make the rules.

mmm...how many oz of gold do you think an Ivy Legue med school degree will cost in a few year's time? (a lot less than now I'd have thought)

like quinoa and goji berries?

you're assuming the gold price rises faster than the mining costs.

surely they're a play on the spread between the gold price and the mining costs.

"...all jobs were decided by The Party..."

relative to what?

what the f*** has that got to do with the thread title?!

+1

other way round surely.
