What: "Gold is like the canary in a coal mine. In case you are unfamiliar, during the early 1900s, coal miners would carry these birds with them down into the mine. If the bird quit singing, or worse, dropped dead, the miners knew that the air was bad and it was time to get out. Gold is an economic canary."
