[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Notice how gold is not surging right now. The world is unstable and yet gold is not exactly roaring these days.

I feel that priorities have changed:

If you want to continue the gold discussion I would prefer to use freepmail.

Briefly, you are comparing the price of gold on a daily or weekly basis against the US dollar. Through the use of the futures markets the central banks and the gold banks are able, right now, to manipulate the price of gold and silver. Just like fractional reserve banking turns a $1,000 deposit into $9,000 of loans, paper future contracts backed by an unlimited amount of fiat currency results in a market that is easily manipulated.

I cannot explain it any better than the smartest man in America. Watch this video and if your opinion hasn't changed, I can't help you:
