Exactly my point Cameron ;-)
Before Nixon
1oz gold == $35US or inversely $1 == 1/35oz gold...seems pretty standard to
me.
Also your own quote states "The government held the $35 per ounce price until
August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon announced that the United States
would no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value, thus completely
abandoning the gold standard."
After Nixon
Gold and the dollar float. Gold is now traded as a commodity as it should.
Otherwise the world economy is tied to a very finite amount (183,600 tonnes) of
a shiny rock whose real value is it's chemical element properties. It is the
best (naturally occurring) conductor of electricity and the best reflector of
infrared heat (amongst many other properties).
1/256,280oz gold (2 cents at todays prices ;)

Not sure what history books you are reading, but On June 5, 1933, the
United States went off the gold standard, a monetary system in which currency
is backed by gold, when Congress enacted a joint resolution nullifying the
right of creditors to demand payment in gold. The United States had been on a
gold standard since 1879, except for an embargo on gold exports during World
War I, but bank failures during the Great Depression of the 1930s frightened
the public into hoarding gold, making the policy untenable.
The government held the $35 per ounce price until August 15, 1971, when
President Richard Nixon announced that the United States would no longer
convert dollars to gold at a fixed value, thus completely abandoning the gold
standard. In 1974, President Gerald Ford signed legislation that permitted
Americans again to own gold bullion.

Actually Nixon got us off the gold standard. And it's a good thing
because with an $18trillion GDP for just the US alone there is no way our
current economy would operate being tied to a shiny rock. That phone in your
pocket would cost $1million or more just from the gold inside of it :-/
Leave the shiny rocks to the hippies at EDM festivals lol.

You think that's bad? The USD isn't backed by gold but rather a

Who care about P&L? It's stocks.
AAPL is one of the biggest companies out there. There is no real
correlation between stocks and how the company operates.

Yep. Which is why they both make me nervous. You can't ever guess
where those types will go by looking at balance sheets and P&L. Although to
tell the truth, it had been pretty difficult to do that with any stock for a
long time.

Not that it matters, as I think GPRO is mostly a marketing
play at this point, I saw some film of some competitors product with a really
nifty 360 camera for about half of a Hero3.

Hey... if anyone is looking for a 4-5 month stock
with the possibility
of a 50% return, you should take a look at GPRO. It's
a great buy right
now and I personally think it will hit $14-$15 again
within the next six
months. :)
