  1. Gold at all time highs in terms of euros, euros near all time lows in terms of dollars, this one is going to compete with Britain's sale of gold at the bottom!

  2. Easy to look at 10 years later. But at the time, Brown's action did not look that stupid. That being said, I think the Euro is going down the drain of the failed currency, so saving the furniture by buying gold, at the present time, does not look like a bad idea.
