#2 When I worked in Silicon Valley and then southern California in the 70s-80s, many of my co-workers from Taiwan and Hong Kong kept some 24 karat gold jewelry on their persons daily. Some of them had parents that had fled mainland China or who had assets seized in Malaysia or Singapore, so they always made sure they had some portable wealth they could carry if they had to flee.

After gold, they bought real estate - their houses might have almost no furniture, but they were generally in decent neighborhoods where prices were likely to increase over time.

New or fancy cars, clothes, tv/stereos, eating out and vacations were way down their priority list. Many of them did immediately begin sponsoring a younger sibling to come here, go to school and then get a good technical job, too.

They've all made great Americans. Too bad that the Arabs who are within Israel have chosen not to take advantage of Israeli economy, schools and high tech industries in a similar way.

#3 "With savings accounts returning two percent per year or less, some savers have figured out it is logical to accumulate gold in place of bank deposits, T-bills or CDs."

How many percent do you suppose the Gaza Arabs lose in the typical cash-to-gold transaction? Dopes.

#4 They departed, having converted fast-decaying and hated Shekels to wealth that they could carry and that would not decay.
Doncha just feel sorry for that ignorant jewelry dealer who is now stuck with paper Schekels. He probably even more foolishly put the profits in an Israeli bank.
I feel like I wasted my money on that Money and Banking course at the university when I could study higher economics with Al Jazz for free.

#5 Maybe if the paleostinkians invested whatever wealth they had in something besides explosives and arms (and furs for suha), they wouldn't fear the modern banking system. Oh well, can't drag EVERYONE out of the 11th century, can we?

And of course, al-jizzwada is the flag carrier for all these lies. Big shock there.

#6 News Flash: Most money is just bits in a computer somewhere. Counters, for the great game...

#7 Bits in a computer?

I thought time = money and time's relative..
thus Money = Relatives.
