How much is it? A miniscule amount just reinforces my point. Gold is used as a medium of exchange or a store of value.
I think the current ratio is one metric tonne of gold: 400 metric tons of mobile phones.
Computers I believe are 1:100.
But yes miniscule, I have invested in gold as well and hell I live in Britain.

I'm gonna claim bonus points if it has a virus and brain-aneurysm points if not.
I can feel my brain getting ready to explode.
Friggin borrowed computer.
Did you guys hear about the McAfee fail? My (ancient, paperweight worthy) computer is irrevocably sidelined. Now I'm on dad's laptop, which is "UNIVERSITY PROPERTY" so I get zero access. So long ability to use googledocs instead of a flash drive. Also, fvck vista. (For bonus lulz, the search "macafee failure" got blocked too.)

You don't know how to get around parental control? LOL... Your dad must be tired of all that questionable pornographic material he keeps finding on his computer.
I can get around it, but if I do then he'd know that i got around it. There is absolutely no reason to jeopardize my only way to pass [any high school class] for an article affirming that Gold is good for ignoring market tremors.
(Macro is incredibly boring to me anyway. Give me microeconomics and a decision matrix [game theory] anyday.)

I doubt you've familiarized yourself with game theory at this stage of your life. One of the most interesting things I've ever learned though. With that said, I hated micro. I'm more about the big picture.

Macro is so indefinite. The things there seem a lot closer to something like existential psychology than they do to hard facts.

Wooo, Election day. Go politicians I don't care about or know!
I don't understand the UK parties. Who is who on the political scale? I mean I know you guys have a conservative Party led by some dude named Cameron, some Labor party led by Brown and... a third party led by someone?

It doesn't take much work to go and read up on how much Communism fails and has always failed. You don't need to take college courses on it.
But no, people see the problems with Capitalism and immediately jump to the conclusion that Capitalism is wrong and evil and must be replaced by the working man!
They never stop and think that perhaps, just maybe, Capitalism is not a perfect system and like any other, has issues. That just maybe, instead of going with Marx's ahistorical delusion, that it might be better to look for ways to make Capitalism better and fix what problems we can. No one is arguing that some people get the short end of the stick in Capitalism, but quite frankly at least in Capitalism you are allowed to discuss and debate ways to fix the problems. No system is perfect and it is the constant flow of ideas and economic connections that allows for Capitalism to grow.
Not so in Communism. Deviations from The Party line will inevitably result in persecution because after all, Communism is the "end of history."

Seriously, you know as much as me. Politics really just goes over my head. But yeah, theres Brown, who nobody likes now, Cameron, who nobody likes especially and..... that third party... man.
edit . Nick Cleg! Who I really didn't know about until I asked my flatmates.
