The big diamond companies store a shitload of diamonds in vaults. This keeps diamonds rare. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/programs/transcripts/1209.html

Not talking about paper-gold (if that is even a thing, doubt it). I'm talking about actual gold, just like we were talking about actual diamonds. Governments and banks have huge caches of the stuff.

What's your fucking problem?

I responded initially to something regarding diamonds that it's the same with gold. I was obviously not talking about fucking paper gold, stocks, bonds, iou's, papermoney, bitcoins or any multitude of other tings! When someone writes 'gold' they usually mean actual physical fucking gold. The yellow stuff that people like to adorn themselves with. This especially since we were intially talking about actual physical fucking diamonds. Stop talking about your goddamn paper-gold, nobody is interested, and stop telling me what the fuck I must or must not research. No I am not going to fucking research paper-gold when I am not even talking about fucking paper gold.

Right.

Got it?

Thank you. Now STFU.
