The price of gold has fallen for three months
straight-the first time that has happened in 11 years, experts said. "Such an extended
fall is unusual," according to
Reuters. "Prices have not fallen for three
straight months since [the three months prior] to May 2000, before the start of
a rally that took gold from around $250 to nearly $2,000 last year."

If I tell you that there's a dress somewhere out there in the world that costs
$15 million because it's covered in polished diamonds, what do you imagine it might
look like? For that kind of cash, I expect to be completely blown away. Something
really magical, maybe a little bit of trim made from virgin unicorn hide.
