The parable of the talents contains a timely warning for the gold market. In the biblical story, the master distributes his wealth between three servants. The first and the second put their capital to work in businesses and generate healthy profits. The third, scared of losses, buries his share in the ground. The master praises his two active managers for their performance, but consigns the proto-gold bug to “outer darkness”.
圣經(jīng)中一個(gè)有關(guān)人才的寓言故事給黃金市場(chǎng)提出了及時(shí)的警告。在這個(gè)故事里,主人將自己的家產(chǎn)分給3個(gè)仆人。前二個(gè)仆人都把資金用來(lái)做生意,獲得了不俗的利潤(rùn)。第三個(gè)仆人害怕虧損,把分得的錢埋在了地下。主人稱贊了前兩個(gè)積極理財(cái)者的表現(xiàn),卻把這個(gè)金本位支持者拋棄在“外面的黑暗”之中。
