Thanks.
(The problem does apply to gold speculation in this day and age, though, right? I will BTW readily concede that gold speculation in this day and age is high risk.)
It would apply if gold were legally enforced and usable as a currency, but I don't think it is.
It does apply to forex speculation, though.
OK, so investors buying and holding gold do not cause the problem.
