The reasons for classic vehicle market trends seem kinda obvious as has been discussed to quite some degree, but always happy to chat some more...(-:
Evaluation of gold as a store of wealth... I think the royal mint may have some skin in the game there, perception of protecting their ass..ets..? Seems the dash for cash may be the new game in town...?
As for holding gold, perhaps if one has a physical gold as opposed to holding a certificate declaring ownership....?.
Perhaps coinage may make a comeback, with precious metals used in their production denoting value, perhaps with a cross stamped in to provide a guide to quarter the coin as a means of purchasing goods or services of a lesser value that the whole coin... remember to carry your snips in the purse...(-:
Shades of 2007 methinks..
Never did find those happy pills...!
PS.. I think Roosevelt may have used emergency powers to create a new law where it became illegal for US citizens to hold gold.... I suspect using emergency powers is not something the population of the US might put up with today.....???????
