-- Gold has no intrinsic value.

-- Gold has no use beyond looking pretty.

-- Gold is volatile.

-- Gold is a "greater fool" investment.

-- Gold's value was higher 40 years ago in real terms.

Macleod concludes: "With governments everywhere itching to increase spending without raising taxes and as the global economy sinks into a trade and credit-cycle-induced recession, budget deficits will fuel monetary inflation at a faster pace than seen before. Relearning that gold is sound money is now the most urgent priority for all those charged with responsibility for other people's investments."
