<p>Good luck with that one. The dollar is the global reserve currency. Do not underestimate the strength of this country as compared to the rest of the world.

If you invested in gold, you wasted your time. That all changed with fears of inflation and hedge fund speculation several years ago. </p>
<p>Today, the church of gold is full of believers.

<p>Those who want to return to the gold standard fail to appreciate that at some point a lack of supply could have disastrous consequences in a gold-based system. </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/04/19/reason-no-3-to-avoid-gold-gold-is-in-limited-supply/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Reason No. 3 to avoid gold: Gold is in limited supply</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/04/19/reason-no-3-to-avoid-gold-gold-is-in-limited-supply/">Reason No. 3 to avoid gold: Gold is in limited supply</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sun, 19 Apr 2009 09:00:00 EST.

<p>Unlike paper currency that is impossible to manipulate in any way, gold can be accumulated by a group of connected buyers for the sole purpose of eliminating supply from the market. A successful cornering of the market can result in volatile swings in price. Unsuspecting buyers acquire bullion at higher prices only to see a flood of supply hit the market resulting in damaging price collapse. </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/04/18/reason-no-2-to-avoid-gold-gold-prices-are-easily-manipulated/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Reason No. 2 to avoid gold: Gold prices are easily manipulated</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/04/18/reason-no-2-to-avoid-gold-gold-prices-are-easily-manipulated/">Reason No. 2 to avoid gold: Gold prices are easily manipulated</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:30:00 EST.

<p>The gold bulls state that enemy number-one of the dollar-denominated currency is inflation. I agree wholeheartedly, and so does the Federal Reserve. </p>

<p>It's an abhorrent example of materialism and serves no real purpose.
