We all get heaps of stuff
to read or listen to…do yourself a favour…it is one hr long video…find some time
tonight…it will give you a good understanding of the macro world…
Gold is a currency.
Throughout the history, I won't tell you in length, money was like a check in a
checkbook and what you would do was get your gold and gold was like a medium.
So gold is one of the currencies-- We have dollars, we have euros, we have yen
and we have gold.
And if you get
into a situation where there's an alternative in this world, where we're
looking at 'What are the alternatives?' and the best alternative becomes
clearly one thing, something like gold, there becomes a risk in that.
Now it doesn't
have the capacity. The capacity of moving money into gold in a large number is
a extremely limited. So the players in this world that I have contact with that
move that money really don't view gold as an effective alternative, but
it could be a barometer and it is an alternative for smaller amounts of money.
To this, Bartiromo
asked if he owns gold.
"Oh yeah. I
do. I think anybody, look let's be clear, that I think anybody who doesn't
have...There's no sensible reason not to have some. If you're going to own a
currency, it's not sensible not to own gold. Now it depends on the amount of
gold. But if you don't own, I don't know 10%, if you don't have that and that
depends on the world, then there's no sensible reason other than you don't know
history and you don't know the economics of it.
