All About Gold

From Ritholtz, gold facts and figures:


$8.7 trillion of gold above ground in the whole world at $1600 an ounce?  No wonder the gold bugs salivate at the idea of returning to the gold standard.  I hate to break it to them, converting to a monetary system that ridiculously increases the value of some damn not very useful metal at the expense of everybody who doesn't hoard it-not going to happen.
