Actually Ben gold isn't totally useless.   Your gold filling example 
is one important application.  Isn't it used on some CD-R products?  
I think it has various applications in electrical circuits as well.

It's soft for a metal, but very corrosion resistant.  And it can be 
made into rather attractive products.  Perhaps now is the time to 
move into MHI?   But can be persuade Michael to stop selling product 
so that the asset value of his company increases ;-) ?
