Asheron Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I can’t imagine it means anything cheerful that Vladimir Putin, the Russian czar, is stockpiling gold as fast as he can get his hands on it. According to the World Gold Council, Russia has more than doubled its gold reserves in the past five years. Putin has taken advantage of the financial crisis to build the world’s fifth-biggest gold pile in a handful of years, and is buying about half a billion dollars’ worth every month. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-is-putin-stockpiling-gold-2012-09-05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
