Agree! The mantra in the media is that powerhouse economies are getting back on their feet, namely Europe and USA. Both have horrific debt problems that are far from resolved at all. As soon as people realize this truth remains, gold will rally again even if lending rates are at their lowest. As well India, China, Russia and Germany want gold and the less is available the higher the price will go. Simple law of supply and demand. Gold has been manipulated by powerful entities trying tomask certain economic realities, but it will not be successful indefinitely
