There are many gold threads scattered around the forum, the longest and most important has developed into more of a general discussion about gold and fiat money, given its length, it has become difficult for people to access the useful information and links posted. I thought that it would be useful to take some of the best links and condense them into one thread, hopefully I will at some point also put together a Gold FAQ.

If you have any links you would like to add, or if I have missed any from the Gold thread please post them below and tell me what category you want them placed in. New categories will be made if needed. I would also appreciate some negative links, articles or videos about Gold, so that we can better judge the pros and cons of owning Gold.

Please can avoid heated discussions and arguments in this thread, this is intended only as an information resource.

I just found out that the Money as Debt video link is not working, fortunately 'the duke of hazzard' posted another link to it in main discussion. Also I just realized that I can no longer edit the first post so here is the new link.

I just realized that a lot of the hyper links don't work properly anymore, you can still get to the sites by copy and pasting the links into your address bar. You can also just delete the first part of the bad link when it sends you to 'searchmachine.com' just delete this part http://www.http.com// and click refresh or Go or whatever it is on the browser you are using.
