good point chuck, i should have researched that before commenting. i
guess it's used in electronics because it doesn't oxidize like the other
metals??

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

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.

You can't ever guess where those types will

Although to tell the truth, it had been
pretty difficult to do that with any stock

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

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. :)
