Funny dudes, these central bankers. Alan Greenspan was a goldbug prior to heading the Fed and now that he's out, he's advocating for gold again.

And former Bank of England president Mervyn King has become cozy with gold as well:

What is obvious to me is that these guys will say and do things while in official capacity that they may or may not necessarily personally agree with. Could you imagine these guys recommending gold while they were still in power?
And Bernanke, when asked by Ron Paul during a congressional hearing why the Fed is keeping gold in its reserves, paused and then said it's because of "tradition." HAHAHAHAHAHA! Very Funny, indeed.
You (greenspan) must be f ing kidding me....
It looks like he's far from an Objectivist these days; Pretty much all over the place with his economic and political positions.
