was a marketing email in my inbox today. I won't be playing, but remember that gold is a currency, gold is money, and gold is sounder than every fiat paper currency on the planet.

On an entirely different note, two articles I wrote have just been published at other gold sites - my first foray into such a thing. Have a look if you're so inclined:
