"in short, European rejection of austerity is going to drive the conversion of EUR into USD, which will drive gold lower by default."
that's something that I fear will happen. It's also something I think maybe some powerful people may want. way above my pay grade though.
I waiting to see if they can extract Greece from the Euro with minimal damage. That would give us some time for a POG rebound.
IMO, the revaluation of the gold miners will be heralded by a big uptick in merger / buyouts within the sector.
