40 years on from gold standard, gold is back and for good

Gold, and only gold, will be our salvation when the value of companies, banks, countries and even money itself melts away.

Gold, not shifting currencies, is the foundation of wealth and security.

Gold is back, for good.

This is the song of the "gold bugs" - the fervent fans of the precious metal who have clung to its investment value for three generations and now glow in the reflected lustre of a record price approaching $2,000 for just one ounce.
