So, if the price of gold in dollars loses 30%, the one ounce of gold is still one ounce of gold, right?

Its worth its weight in gold mate. In dodgy times its merely a haven for your dosh.

Personally, I'm always having dodgy times, but I can only afford a beer.

Baht vs gold

https://www.goldbroker.com/charts/gold-price/thb

 

Gold has not changed in value for thousands of years..the value of currencies is the

volatile element.

Goodbye Stephen Hawking.

A couple of his quotes: 

On fame : "The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognised. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away" - Interview on Israeli TV, December 2006.

On black holes : "Einstein was wrong when he said, 'God does not play dice'. Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen" - The Nature Of Space And Time, published 1996.

 

Well said, Ive often seen him scooting along the pavement in Cambo..awe inspiring sight.

But he was totally wrong about Black holes..my wifes got one in her handbag.

USD is still a "strong sell" against Thai Baht. THB will continue to appreciate against USD for at least the next month. If you are holding USD and want THB within the next year, best to sell USD now.

 

THB hasn't gained against the EURO in the past year, so not all western currencies are weakening against THB.

 

Buy gold, value is constant throughout history.

Aw, you've broken the golden rule on the music threads, Weekly Market.

Criticizing fellow posters' musical choices only leads to vitriol though I doubt transam  gives a flying duck. He regularly posts the same numbers even more than I do.

We're all just frustrated disc jockeys, endlessly letting the world (approx 5 or 6 people) know our tastes.

In the meantime, here is a song by a man with a guitar talking about a launderette. The passion public washing machines can generate is something I would not have believed if I hadn't heard it myself.

Wash machine too expensive and noisy, Mia has washboard...But observe the talent....

Stay away from washing machines, clothes lines are safer if not hanging...

Revenge for the washing machine, a couple of wrong notes, but watch the passion developing.

Sorry mate, but this is awful, soulless, artless, boring noise.

Like a guitar in a washing machine.

Then was now then, now is now

Nothing like a spot of classical music now, not then.

Tuning would have been preferable to the paint job.

The Baht has strengthened to 31.30 today. So much for these forecast.

 

It might go up to 29.xx soon not seen since 2013 .

 

What is causing the Baht to strengthen.

Its more like western currencies weakening.
