XAU is approaching 80. As soon as it hits, one of the following news stories will hit the wires, which one will it be?

1) NASA discoveries huge 100000 tonnes gold nugget on back side of moon, mission to recover set for 2001 (funny it looks like a black monolith and sends signals to Jupiter!)

2) UTAH scientists discover gold is produced as a by product of cold fusion, worlds energy and money problems solved for centuries!

3)IMF to aid poor displaced South African mine workers. Money to come from gold sales in the form of St Christopher medals!

4) SETI project receives broadcast from extra territrial. Only able to decipher partial message "gold worthless, by AMZN"

5) Hedge fund collapses from the weight of precious metal. Liquidation of a gazilllion tonnes of gold planned each week for the next 100 weeks.
