Isn’t that guy that voted for Cap & Trade
If the US sells its gold to China. We are doomed.
How much of the gold market, for how long is 80 billion? Will this move prices?
If you are faced with a dollar that is going to lose its value, buy hard assets. Oil fields. Mines. Gold.
Just keep enough cash on hand to buy miscellaneous governments as the need arises. Their sale price is no doubt declining, so that needn’t be any large sum.
China not only buying 80 billion in gold, they are also going to capture the WH on Sept 20th when their flag will be hoisted at the WH.

Our communist 0 and his liberal buddies will be so happy that day.
Saw an analysis about a week ago that showed the billions in loans to business that China just gave out to stimulate its own economy was mainly used to place bets in the commodities market. Can you say bubble?
There have been several stories along these lines in the past few months. Gold reversed today, and this story may have been the reason.
China is also buying copper and other commodities as stores of value.
Frankly, I think China is due for some major economic problems and likely unrest or even a breakdown of government. But meantime, they are trying to store their money where it will maintain its value.
Folks lets be realistic here. 80 billion dollars of gold is PISS! Almost in the noise range.
Isn’t that about 2.5 thousand billion short.
What? Did Wen Jiabao call him up and tell him this?
Old news! They contacted me months ago about purchasing mine.
They won’t get mine for less than $10,000/oz.
