. . . a good presentation of the gold standard . . . But I think you are no poet!!!
I once owned a few gold ingots in Jakarta but had to sell them because I could not take them out of the country. They fascianted me. There is nothing like gold. In Singapore, the jewelry shops only carried gold jewelry and usually 18 to 24 carrot. You could see the gleam from inside of the stores on the side walk outside. Now, I own gold stocks.
