#1 Boy howdy the stock markets really really like the stimulus package and they absolutely LOVE the revised bail out rules.

#3 That's what I've always thought, BP.

Sure, gold is worth a lot to people willing to buy it, but it won't buy food if no one has any to sell, and it won't pay most people to move out of their house and live outdoors so the gold-owner can move in.

Same with diamonds. I just don't get it.

#4 Now if it was beef bullion I could understand. Add a little water, some veggies, and boil for a bit and you have a tasty meal.
