The problem is you do not understand risk at all. You compare things with many orders of magnitude different risks as if they were equally risky. In fact, in my original post, I addressed the issue of risk, and mentioned hedging that risk using put options. Yet, you think that because you're not sophisticated enough, or didn't bother to actually read my post, you think you can spout off and accuse of saying things I did not say. In fact, you claim that I "don't understand the point of arbitrage, at all", on the basis that you are unable to price risk accurately, or do not understand the concept of hedging. But hey, just keep on thinking that gold is very risky.... sucker.
