"Price Per Ounce" In Context
When it comes to commodities priced "per ounce", the two most quoted products are silver, and of course gold. But in a broader context are these prices a lot or little? How do some other less known commodities stack up to the world's two most precious metals. Here are the prices for a wide universe of other compounds which are also priced on a "per ounce" basis...
- Copper: $0.24
- Silver: $33
- Beluga caviar: $345
- Gold: 1,700
- Carbon 60: $2,495
- Cocaine: $4,791
- Namibian uncut rough diamonds: $98,490
- Plutonium Oxide: $165,500
- Soliris (anemia drug): $533,000
- Human eggs: $157 trillion
That said, we doubt any of the above have the wealth and capital preservation capabilities of those two most popular shiny metallic objects which may or may not be edible, but have survived the rise and fall of nearly 3000 paper currencies over the ages.

WTF? Cocaine is 5k/oz? Someone's getting fucked..
I won't even ask about the human eggs one..
I'd like a human Egg Benedict with some plutonium on it. Please? ;-)
Looney
Of course, you'll pay a little more for human eggs from free-range chickies!
What do Michael Jackson and caviar have in common?
- They both come on little white crackers!
What do Michael Jackson and the Houston Astros have in common?
- They both wear a glove on one hand for no apparent reason...
What do Michael Jackson and a K-mart sale have in common?
- They both have little boy's pants half off!
But you can eat human eggs....
(never mind)
cocaine would be a hell of a currency.

I heard you can dig coke out of the ground for only $5 an ounce!
Or was that a dead Mexican's backpack?
What did Rock Hudson and Len Bias have in common?
They both got into some bad crack.
The "price per ounce" of ANYTHING is denominated in PAPER JOOBUX... Henceforth, value your purchases accordingly...

Accordingly [as well] this comment will attract a certain number of 'junks'... But remember AS ALWAYS, francis_sawyer IS NOT the one stealing your wealth... It's not in my DNA to do so... I have a bunch of valid comments on another thread on how to make your food dollar stretch [both nutritionally & wealth transfer wise]... Junk me THERE if you disagree [or if my food choices are not properly kosher ~ which, in of itself (kosher beatification), is simply another schematic TITHE to transfer money to Jewish rabbis ~ and which, is another topic]...
-1 Not helpful.
"denominated in PAPER JOOBUX"
Yes, sneaky of them Jews, isn't it. They have even managed to infiltrate the Chinese with their remnimbi and the Japanese with their Yen. Quite the worldly bunch, eh?
I'm sure there's somebody out there who will be happy to make the argument that the leaders of the Chinese communist party are jewish
I don't know about that but the Japanese Imperial Navy did enjoy a little Torah! Torah! Torah!
Hey Croc... So What IS helpful anyway?... Help me out here... Jews have had century old franchise on printing ['counterfeitting'] currency... Hows that working out 4 ya at the moment [aside from paper gold shorts allowing the 'non-idiotic' to squirrel away phyzz at what ought to prove to be a decent price [down the line]...
If I follow your line of reasoning then I'll have to submit to anyone who puts me down by calling me a straight, white male. It's one of those do unto others things. If you prefer the gentile version then try this: "Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself." -- Confucius
"Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself."
~~~
OK Confucius ~ I'll bite... Let's start with TODAY & RE-DO the entire monetary system...
I wouldn't:
- Be nipping on the jock of "new colony" American [US of A] legislators for more than a century (thru two central bank dissolutions, the 2nd of which was only possible [war of 1812] was funded because I'd already gotten my jew claws into the British Monarchy... The American Civil War [funded & orchestrated by New York jew banking interests to cripple Southern states commodities commerce]... Later ~ ASSASINATE President Lincoln because 'greenbacks' were successful in their own right [but were not JOOBUX ~ so a bullet needed to be put into his head]...
- Started [in the dead of night on a Chrismas holiday]... the US Federal Reserve [after assasinating 2 other US Presidents after Lincoln who were not, in the end, compliant]... On his DEATHBED ~ Woodrow Wilson would confess to this failure & tragedy [His face, 'mockingly' placed on the $10,000 FRN by the same jews he appeased after he was threatened & co-erced]...
No ~ You're right... They're NOT 'joobux'... I'm just an 'anti-semitic' asshole [who has never stolen, nor CONSPIRED TO STEAL a penny of your wealth using various paper schemes]...
Carry on... LABEL me as you will for being a threat to humanity...
Sincerely ~
francis_sawyer
That's the problem with forums like this. Everyone's a biter.
You're mainly a threat to yourself but your humanity has yet to be established. So no harm, no foul on that count.
It's a broad brush you stroke. A cabal of family interests don't necessarily apply to the greater masses that share a specific religion. In fact, I'd be willing to state that it's highly unlikely that this cabal adheres to any religion that we'd call such.
how about the argument that the chinese bankers are zionists of luciferian denomination instead of:
They are the other, other lost tribe... like the mormons.
depends what you buy and from who he.
I buy some 2 to 3 times a year on special occacions and I pay 75 euro per gram. you'll probably find it cheaper but I don't like putting rat poison in my nose.
. I buy some 2 to 3 times a year on special occacions and I pay 75 euro per gram.
Make sure you buy PHYSICAL coke and not some paper-coke-ETF. ;-)
Looney
Coke options, that's the way to go. Short straddle - coke price has barely fluctuated for 25 years.
Coke? That's so grandpa. Bath Salts is the candy for the kiddies today. Why explode your own heart with coke when you can eat someone else's on bath salts?
if you don't hold it in you nose, you don't own it! :)
i puts it on my cock.
Cock coke rocks
>annnnnnnd it's gone!
Which? The coke, the cock, or the rock?
Arguably, rock can be interpreted as a slang for coke too...
75EUR/g * 27g = 2025EUR
2025 * 1.3 EURUSD = $2632.5 (no weight discount)
$5k must be those "Street value" prices cops like to quote when they make a big bust and circle-jerk themselves in front of the cameras.
Its about $750.00 an OZ in Los Angeles , give or take depending on quality

I wonder what the CIA is getting for Afghan heroin.
Good question, but they use it for more than financial gain. Iran is flooded with cheap high grade smack and availability has spiked in the last 4 years.
I thought James Bond put a stop to all that... I saw it myself... He fought this dude on the back of a military cargo plane & all the burlap bags (with medical crosses) flew out the back over Pakistani airspace while he was duking it out with some Dolph Lundgren looking brute... You have my word on that...
That was my problem with drugs and alcohol.........every ten minutes was a special occasion.
My, my, my... would you look at the time!
75 euro per gram
28 grams in an ouce (how did I know that without looking it up...)
$2,730 per ounce.
That's full retail. These street values are always bullshit, have never understood why they can't figure the price correctly.
There's a discount for buyin' in bulk...
"Coming into Los Angeleez, bringin' in a coupla keys..."
Is that the new Coke or original?
Personally, I haven't had a Coke since they fucked it up in the 80's.
We are talking about a liquid beverage, right?
Seen this somewhere:
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon
Vick’s Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .= $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 = $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 = $84.48 per gallon
This ones just stupid …
Evian water 9 oz $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for WATER. Even worse, I don’t think they ever even tell you where the waters from.
(Did you ever notice that Evian spelled backwards is Naive?)
Finally .. computer printer ink.
This “liquid gold” can … depending on brand, ingredients, etc … run as high as $5,000 or more a gallon.

Touché
Time to go long and stay long on ink because Helicopter Ben's printers are stuck in hyperdrive.
+1000. Excellent means to educate folks with real numbers. Was out in hawaii a little while ago and a coworker had something like a liter of water (pumped and filtered from 3000 ft in the ocean for the 'purity' supposedly) ... it seems the bottled water in the litter bottles was very popular in Japan selling for $20 ... that is $75/gallon for water.
And it comes with a limp dick and a nose bleed, no extra charge.
When I heard stories back in the 80s of people 'snorting a ferrari' over a weekend it was confirmation that people can be unbearably stupid.
There are no $500 hookers, only $500 johns.

You're not paying for the sex... You're paying for them to LEAVE when the sex is thru...
That is not a criticism of them or the sex, but of you. I would be lucky to have a family with any woman I'd be attracted enough to pay for sex with.
Ahhh, gaoptimize, your Hallmark Channel Comment does my cynical heart good. Just from what you wrote, I can tell you with 95%+ certainty that you're either young, or naive, or both. But don't you let it bother you, pard: Life its Ownself will pound that nonsensical pablum/fairy tale philosophy out of you in due time.
"WTF? Cocaine is 5k/oz?"
Uncut, baby...don't be steppin' on my-yayo.
yea...the user!
The only thing i regularly buy in ounces is pot and that didn't make the list WTF
Eggs were at $157 Trillion... So then ~ How much is SPERM worth... I need to know... So I can like say "babe ~ I'm delivering, at least, a couple hundred mil [in value] on your face"... See how exciting the proposition becomes when money is involved?...
Note: Ladies ~ francis_sawyer is not trying to be misogynistic here... I'm simply pointing out the absurdity of it all...
Ease of delivery, Francis. Eggs are harder to ripen and retrieve. Sperm not so complicated. And there are always plenty of those "young, dumb and fulla cum" kinda guys to volunteer.
Note: Gentlement: I am NOT discounting the value of your contribution, I'm just pointing out the differences in procuring the substance under discussion.
Jena... Thank you for that... All francis_sawyer is ever really interested in is a VALID perspective on a subject [which you provided]... Anonymous RED ARROWS don't help much... In the end, you're prolly right on this subject... Therefore ~ I honor your contribution [& IN FACT, I believe it to be true]... Eggs, in nature, are immesurably more valuable than sperm [though in the end ~ nature requires BOTH]...
That's the BEAUTY of it all... Innt it?
I don't know about immeasurably more valuable, because as you say nature does require both. And I hope it is always thus. Despite the problems we have now, if either sex ever figures out how to do without the other it will lead to all sorts of worse problems.
(Also agree on the pointlessness of anonymous red arrows.)
"...if either sex ever figures out how to do without the other it will lead to all sorts of worse problems."
Vast majority of gays and lesbians I have met are financially secure and relatively happy.
Just sayin'.
Oh, of course there is that. Plenty of non-reproductive heterosexual types do just fine, too.
I meant for the propogation of the species.
Prices are astronomical in all industries financed or prohibited by gubmint, like sick care, university education and natural recreational drugs.
If left to free enterprise competition with no gubmint meddling, people might take responsibility for their own health, whiff would probably be 500 FeRNs an ounce rather than 5,000, weed would grow free in back yards, a million stupents would not be a trillion FeRNs in debt, and a million 'murkins who never hurt anyone would not be kidnap victims living in cages.
Hmm, what about truffles and saffron?
1 gram of white truffle in italy is running at about 30-40 euros this year
My dealer could not get any white truffles this season. Had to settle for the far inferior black ones.
COMEX prices of course. Regulated by the CFTC.
Weed didn't make it?
At a buck-twenty and ounce for commercial? Nah... Maybe the good stuff, but even that rarely gets above 300.
I dunno where you live, but in NYC an oz of premium sour diesel can easily top $500
/if you're a sucker
//but still, people buy it
500 bux? That's about what, the fine levied for selling a 32oz drink..?
human egg...you know...bankers caviar...yuk
bankers and royals prefer small children, it's what their master demands afterall.
If you think about it, the financialists have forward sold the next few generations.. that’s many billions of embryos (that survive the eugenics policy).
They can’t hypothecate the humans too far into the future though because the inevitable revolution will occur once absolutely everybody loses absolutely everything.
On that subject...

That's cheating. You can't grow gold;)
But it does prove that some forms of money do indeed grow on trees.
medical weed is 400+ an ounce
and you can eat it...along with some fatty substance of course
i remember when an ounce of good weed in my area was worth more than an ounce of gold. it actually wasn't that long ago.
$240? WTF! Try $500 in FL. Hmmmm, do you have a Winnebago?
Yea, i heard many moons ago the prices you guys pay for chronic in the US...avg like $300-$400 an oz...is really 'high.'
.
In Canada, $240 is expensive - but you get the tasty sweet buds of joy for it... Usually its $200 an oz.

Yeah, but that's a Metric Ounce, it's not the same... Gotta multiply by 2.45, or divide, or something like that.

It is also a helluva lot better...
Yeah, more THC and no stems or seeds that you don't need.
Cancer cure (THC) = PRICELESS...
I'm not convinced its the THC that cures cancer - I think its something else in the hemp, so increased THC varieties arent as good for curing cancer. However - it also has an effect on the mind after long term use, it tends to make people think for themselves and be more skeptical - in my opinion, that is the main reason it is illegal - the fact it cures cancer is also a reason.
PS: Most people probably dont know that the effects above are scientifically documented by several very reputable scientists. Pot cures cancer, and makes you question authority - obviously a very bad drug.
DAMN IT!!!...

How much does the TRUTH cost?
no buyers.... everybody is buying the hopium which costs nothing
In the end, buying the hopium costs everything.
Yeah, 'hopium futures' are not traditional options: the cost of the hopium is your future.
..yeah, or try to find an oz of decency in on K Street.
Given the scarcity, I think you'll need a few more streets. As for the price, astronomical sounds about right.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

So gold and silver are not edible, while human eggs are. Does that mean earning one's "red wings" is a profitable endeavor?
Ahhh the good old days when I had my cycles...
list up the rare earths and that will show you how fucked up silver is if you compair it to the mining.
But if you look at it, I should also start thinking about keeping some female humans in a shack in my yard for the eggs of course...
think about it... 1 ounce and you pay down the US debt 10 times over... the offical number that is...
All ounces are not created equal. One ounce Rosane Barr is not equal to one ounce of Cindy Crawford.
Why are human eggs more expensive than caviar? They taste the same.
you catch the Beluga with a fishing line and a worm....
for the human eggs, you need a golden ring, a wedding and a lifetime of insults and you only get 2 chance a year to harvest them... on your birthday and on newyears eve...
the dude would disagree...
My wife says that I am extremely valuable.
so you took that 2 million life insurrance he?.....
I'd start eating my food straight from a tin can if I where you...
Human Eggs are very valuable per ounce. Meanwhile a manload of baby batter is worth about $10 an ounce. Hell, some guys will pay you to "take it off their hands"...
Salsa... Through nostrils... Ouch...
Thanks for the LOL. :)
oh great. Now I got the first verse of Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" in my head. thanks a lot.
Fuck, I need a woman farm to harvest eggs from.
When gold hits 5000 an ounce it will be priced in grams. Enjoy as long as it lasts.
That's an interesting take.
Probably true.
$315 Billion in AU, that's a lot of ounces: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTtf5s2HFkA
