Don't know either.

but if, as puplava suggests, generally low comodity prices have been fueled by exponentially driven small sums backing positions in the futures markets (via derivatives), then any reasonably significant move by "world" currencies into long positions would have a very great impact, for one example. That there may exist a false pricing, let alone or compounded by still growing basic demand (population) and/or the unexpected (drought, colder/hotter than normal temperatures etc.) (or flood), true pricing, long supressed via the above or gov. subsidy, might assert itself once the unnatural or natural controls give way. and of course over time unless the equivalent of some rogue wave were to arrive. In that gold might be an example, the sum total of all miners by market cap be astoundingly small given all the paper floating around the world, let alone the metal itself. or a sudden surge in demand for any basic hard asset regardless whether or not it is put to actual use in the near term after purchase. i.e. coal is horrible today, but at 50-60 dollar oil, coal becomes a gold mine.

and lastly, we have watched money move for three years now....it's most recent location in the USA being housing. an area falsely priced by any measure of real vs. manipulated (inflation)market value...

where will money go next? when no were else is safe?
