AE,

I know that many people believe that gold's recent advance is caused by the rather heady monetary growth.

However, I don't necessarily believe this is the main driver of the gold price. In fact, it may not be one at all. I base this on the observation that for a long time (I would argue since 1987) there has been strong and near-continual growth in the monetary supply, not to mention the unbelievable growth in the overall credit marketplace. Yet gold was actually at $500 at the end of 1987.

Here we are, a mere 16 years later, and many on this thread are wondering if gold can maintain or advance from the $375 level.
