Investment is the word.

The rich are compelled to get richer, and this is not accomplished by stuffing mattresses with cash.

Be that as it may, the quest for greater wealth doesn't imply any benefit whatsoever to the underclasses.

Us less fortunate benefit if the wealthy spend cash on goods and services that we provide.
Bill Gates investing in Krugeraands may do him a world of good, but enrichens me not at all.

On a side note there are &#036;30 million dollar condos for sale in NYC.

Buying one helps provide jobs for cleaning crew, doorman, concierge, and building engineer.

Well, given the logic behind "trickle down", "yes" it should.

He (Bill Gates) gets tax breaks to benefit the economy, including the insane constructors of needlessly costly and frivilous clocks that only have aesthetic and not functional value.

Investing in Gold is the anti-thesis of this trickle down economic theory. In fact, it supports the concept that the more the rich get rich, the more more they want to lock it in.

Gold is bad for clockers.

How could "dissipation" of wealth ever work? The entire concept of aquiring wealth is based on retaining money&#33; You don&#39;t get richer by giving away or spending all your money, you get richer by retaining as much of your income as possible and then using it to make more money (through investment). Ha&#33;

clocker - WOW&#33; How cool, we learn something new each day. Have you got any pics of clocks you&#39;ve made? I&#39;m sure we&#39;d all like to check out your handiwork.

If he doesn&#39;t, I do.

You asked "should it?"

I answered, "yes, it should." That was the logic behind his tax breaks via the trickle down theory.

As Clocker stated, it ISN&#39;T, but the gold is doing well.

I am not modest...just disorganized ATM.
