The final session of Gold Standard University Live was held in early November in Canberra, Australia. In a lovely academic setting, participants listened to Professor Antal E. Fekete discuss trading the basis in gold and silver markets and the current economic crisis.

 What was an unexpected result of that session was the sense of community experienced by those in attendence. As all of us who believe in gold and  "sound money" know that such a belief is highly uncommon, thus relegating us to the outer edges of society where alienation is our common experience.

 In November in Canberra, this was not so. Understandably, most who attended were from Australia but many came from other countries such as the US,  Canada, Spain, South Africa, Sri Lanka, etc. but all shared the common belief that sound money was critically important. All who attended also felt a sense of community being among others of like mind and intention.

While in Canberra, Martha and I had the opportunity to see hundreds of kangaroos who stared at us as uncomprehending as those who look at us today and wonder why we feel so strongly about gold and the dangers of paper money.

Hopefully, the kangaroos will escape the consequences of what is about to happen. Those who stare at us uncomprehending of our belief in the value of sound money and gold will not.
