Not unless productivity breaks or the dollar cracks.

The real estate is a demographic thing. There just aren't enough houses when the boomers' kids are moving out. It's not a rush to hard assets as such, IMO.

My guess is gold IS a rush of sorts among citizens of India/Pakistan, plus W's "axis" countries. I'd want to have dollars or gold if I thought JDAMS might be coming, or I worried about petrol. Another theory I have about gold is the underground currency exchange markets are getting wiped out. Only theories.
