I think it ends before that. IMO the gold price will begin to move higher and as it becomes more clear that the SHTF moment is coming gold will price itself out to the retail buyer and silver catches on fire because the gold price is so high. How long it takes for that to happen is anyone's guess, but there will be a time when gold is very expensive, but still available, then I wouldn't think too longer after that gold won't be available anymore.
When the "cat is out of the bag" and fiat's day is over the manipulation will be too.
Exactly, and it will take less than 5 minutes for the Comex to default on both physical delivery and cash settlement requests. I'm starting to see why guys like Pierre Lassonde and Keith are making $10,000/oz calls for gold and $200/oz for silver. It's starting to look very realistic if you hold physical.
