That link uses the "official" conversion rate of 30,000 US$ = 1 Zim$. Recently the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has let its currency trade "Freely" and it is currently around 255,000,000 US$ = 1 Zim$, so 1 oz Gold = 224,000,000,000 Zim$, so if you have a few billion Zim$, buy gold now as it will be far more expensive next week! http://www.rbz.co.zw/currencyexc/Forex_16052008.asp Seriously though, how could you halt hyperinflation once it gets hold? (As in Zimbabwe)

Hi, As we are approacing April, has anyone heard how the IMF is getting on with its attempt to sell some of its Gold?

Hi All, Just been on holiday and came back to see gold thread no longer on HPC main forum. After searching, found it in the metals forum and then catching up found it had moved to here. As a regular reader but rare poster, I have now transferred over here. If it wasn't for this Gold thread, I would be in a very much poorer position, and missed out in investing my House Moving Fund. Thank you for continuing to debate this topic and I look forward to reading your comments. Kingfisher.
