To celebrate gold hitting $1300 per ounce today, I dedicate this post to the schools that trained the beaming luminaries who have helped to make it all happen.  It was a group effort and we commend your universities for the brilliance of their alumni:

Barack Obama, Columbia, Harvard

Ben Bernanke, Harvard, MIT

Alan Greenspan, Columbia, NYU

Hank Paulson, Harvard (MBA)

Paul Krugman, Yale, MIT

Tim Geitner, Dartmouth, John Hopkins

Larry Summer, MIT, Harvard

By the way, I attended what is now the top ranked university in the world.  John Maynard Keynes was also a Cambridge man.
