He wasn't salvaging consumed gold, he was trying to turn crap INTO gold.

Here's the clue...

Moran’s barrister, Des Fahy, agreed that the general circumstances of the case were bizarre. He said Moran was a man of considerable intellectual ability but there was a clear problem over the years relating to drug abuse.

Oi Minestrone, is he a member of your family?

Actually, you can. Some foods are decorated with edible gold leaf. However, you can't digest it. So presumably, with appropriate equipment, one could eat it, then re-harvest it.

Lots of lovely HY shares to buy at the moment I think. Holding powder dry but have bunged a bit in an emerging markets fund on the dip.
Not touching gold, price entirely relies on expecting another mug to buy it for more later.

If you wait long enough there will always be another mug. Gold's strange that way.

Edit: In fact, speaking of mugs, where's Milan? He's always going on about his Aay-Ewe or something like that.

Edit2: I'm also waiting for an update from Alfred J on the state of the grey slate market. I'd imagine they remain grey slates.

If you can't spot the fool in the Market then you're the fool.

There is always a fool in the market. And they are the fools.

And those poor bastards who bought at $1900 an ounce? **** 'em.

It makes sense. One cannot eat gold.

Lots of upset people on HousePriceCrash forum who stuff all of their STR money into Gold. I think they are now blaiming Mumsnet

Trying to find anything consistent to invest in at the moment is proving difficult. The Eurozones death by a 1000 cuts is making investment predictions extremely difficult.

Everyone knows the Eurozone has to break up. Get on with it and get the uncertainty out of the way.

Thankfully I have no money to invest which makes life easier.

Always believe in your soul. You've got the power to know you're indestructible.

Gay.
