Didn't miss much

As far as being a position trader/investor/primate is concerned, I haven't missed much the past couple weeks. Some commodity traders and homeless men traded places. Woohoo.

Is it just me or is does anyone else think that nobody really wants to pay for their groceries in silver/gold shavings? Does anyone else see the disconnect between the more and more digital age we are surrounded by and the medieval gold and silver days? Some of the hottest companies today essentially sell well placed electrons. Yes that's an understatement because those electrons convey information. The point remains, and has been proven, information is currency. What information do gold and silver provide? What is the real value in their utility?

Got stuck on the gold tangent. Damn it.
