And if one has enough food an ammo, one would generally prefer gold to more food and ammo.

The best theory I can come up with for gold’s spike today is twofold:

1: Metals and oil ETFs are getting dumped, led by the utter carnage in UNG (Nat’l Gas) because there is a serious movement afloat to limit speculation in some of these commods. In 0bama’s utopia, see, speculators are responsible for otherwise unexplainable fuel price rises, which harms da peeple.

2: Since mining is so fuel intensive, a *decrease* in the POO [price of oil] is often viewed as a contrary bet to metals prices. Eg; gas/diesel gets cheaper, metals get cheaper to mine.

3: Since many commod investors are getting squeezed out of their oil bets, they have a tendency to stay with commod bets.

4: There’s also a nicely formed triangle on the gold chart which looks to pop prices maybe $10 higher.

Absolute causality? Nope, just makes a certain amount of sense.
