Comments on: Gold as an Investment – How I Assess It and Why – Post #6 of 11 http://www.stockresearchportalblog.com/2008/11/gold-as-an-investment-%e2%80%93-how-i-assess-it-and-why-%e2%80%93-post-6-of-11/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:03:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: icampbell http://www.stockresearchportalblog.com/2008/11/gold-as-an-investment-%e2%80%93-how-i-assess-it-and-why-%e2%80%93-post-6-of-11/#comment-394 icampbell Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:15:50 +0000 http://www.stockresearchportalblog.com/?p=788#comment-394 Hello Rob: You are absolutely right in pointing out that I failed to mention Europe. As I re-read the Post I also realize I failed to separately mention the United Kingdom as a U.S. Trading Partner - likely much to the chagrin of my deceased Scots ancestors. I have edited the post to include both. Thanks for taking the time to both read my Post and sending your comment along, please continue the good work - and yes I do know who Columbus is and that the Dutch were the first Europeans who colonized Manhattan, native American Indians having been there first. Best regards, Ian Hello Rob:

In large lines, I agree with all that has happened and still can happen in our world. I have a lot of comments for the gold situation, but I wait and see what you bring onto the table in the coming weeks. One thing for your world views: From a senior resident from Canada, you ought to know more about Europe. For instance you said: [quote] I believe that will have a near-term continuing deleterious effect on both the U.S. economy and that of many of its principal trading partners, including Canada, China, Japan, Korea, India, the OPEC countries, Russia and Taiwan among others. [end-quote] In this statement you mention one of the largest trading partners of the United States. Europe! Ok, I know that (in historical viewpoint) Europe and the Euro are reasonably young, but they have grown out to be of world importance. We even put America on the globe by our first colonists, one named Columbus from Spain (ring any bells?) and the Dutch founded New York (New Amsterdam in past times) with the VOC mentality! So if you eventually would like to receive some credits for writing this elaborate piece from Europeans like me, in this case, from the Netherlands (or Holland), feel free to add us on the world map too... brgds Ian, well summarized.
