    Paul Syvret writes about investors hedging against inflation with gold. The road forward is paved in gold I've pulled some choice paragraphs, but the original thing is worth reading.

    He goes on to talk about Bretton woods and emergence of a new reserve currency backed by a basket of commodities. The paper version of the article includes a side-bar with Gold's chronological use as wealth/money from 3000bc to 1975ad.

    If it's the courier mail it must be right after the article about the surfing dog. Seriously though this is getting pretty close to "A Current Affair" quality media exposure.

    The point within a circle...
    That's all we'd need, then again, didn't ACA run a feature on the cash4gold-style companies a while back?

    I read that article... they also ran one about 3-4 weeks ago in the weekend mail. No wonder there's about 10 ads for 66 fiftys in the weekend shopper :p
