Peter Schiff: Gold Hold It or Fold It?
• http://www.lewrockwell.com, By Peter SchiffUnfortunately, this past month revealed that even pros like Goldman Sachs have no idea what sort of hand Washington is really hiding.
A week into the government shutdown, Jeffrey Currie, head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs, declared that gold would be a “slam dunk sell” if Washington resolved the budget debate and raised the debt ceiling. The call was based on an underlying narrative that the US economy is experiencing a slow, but inevitable, recovery.
Taking this recovery as a foregone conclusion, conventional Wall Street analysts saw two clear choices for Washington. On the one hand, Congress could reach an agreement, raise the debt ceiling, and allow the recovery to continue. This would allegedly have been the final nail in the coffin of the safe-haven appeal of gold.

Hold gold and silver. If the electrical grid goes down, 99% of all the Internet will go down... at least in America. Neither dollars or Bitcoin will be worth much then.
