> people are buying “funds” of gold and driving up the price, not actually stockpiling the metal itself. Says you. A month ago I was trying to buy 1oz bars as gifts for my niece and nephew, from Costco of all places. They were often sold out by noon, sometimes queues for the stuff. I wasn't even trying to buy something that was going to appreciate in value quickly, it's already gone up >10% from the Costco price at the time. USD seems doomed right now, through the lens of the price of gold in USD.
