The following from Fred Sheehan, author of “Panderer to Power: The Untold Story of How Alan Greenspan Enriched Wall Street and Left a Legacy of Recession” and writer of the FS aucontrarian blog:  “A gold bar is no more intelligent than Bernanke, but it tells no lies. It should be apparent by now that George Bernard Shaw was right: ‘You have a choice between the natural stability of gold and the honesty and intelligence of the members of government. And with all due respect to those gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, vote for gold.’”

Strong stuff Frank!
