If your wondering about some of the advice on this thread-heres a little test--go back to the first post,its dec 2009--then go to the kitco 5 year gold chart and find approx dec 2009 and have a look at the chart from that point up until now--If you really have nothing to do you could also go through all the posts and count the number of times the word ''crash'' is used--Meanwhile, in the present day I think it all boils down to the likelyhood of inflation.
Are the economic powers willing to put up with inflation to avoid unemployment and the other economic woes that are facing them?
Europe is using some watered down versions but will the US play the QE3 card--watch this space.
