I really wanted to read that, same with the Wall Street Journal, but everytime I click on the link it asks for permissions to collect my data and personal information. I'll google it from my other device in my pseudonym - Chad from Wyoming - and give it a read.

I bought 10oz of gold for roughly £9800 so at the moment I'm losing money. No problem, I plan on saving it anyway but they're finding less gold not more, so I don't think it's a bad investment. Better than bitcoin! :)
