i beleive you...gold has always been the bedrock of financial markets...and why not it is scarce and shiny element..it is set to explode to higher prices for sure in the coming months as people want to preserve cash in gold....
i keep on getting offers for 'CASH FOR GOLD" in the mail and email...this is why gold is so important over paper.
One more thing I wanted to add to my last comment, at that time we had the most liberal and worst US president in modern history. Now we have an even worse US president.
