If there was such a surge in the money supply, then gold would be at $380.Please keep in mind that the dollar lost 50% of its value from 1985-'88, and the world didn't break into lil pieces.

And this idea of a PPT is so ridiculous, that well, it could only come from a piker.This is what bear markets are like.Everyone has a pet theory why things sell off.They sell off because they NEED to be sold.

So, head back to the shower or try the beach....

Here's an interesting chart. The last remaining supply side economy (Russia) is in blue, the New Hoover economy is in red.

Are you denying that there has been an extreme surge in the money supply?

And on what do you base the theory that US money supplies are the primary driver of gold price?

Hey, I'm with you! And that whole TWA800 thing? It really was the center fuel tank spontaneously exploding! I also think the pristine bullet really did go through JFK, Wallace, and that third fellow and emerge perfect and undamaged! And President Clinton never had sex in the Oval Office! It's all true!

After all, the government has NO MOTIVATION to tamper with the markets. None. Nope. Not a whit.

This is what bear markets are like.Everyone has a pet theory why things sell off.They sell off because they NEED to be sold.

Nice hat and magnifying glass, Sherlock.

But the fall cannot be too precipitous, and that's where the PPT comes in.
