<<The Nasdaq has got to crack or Gold stands no chance to rise. >> Maybe, the value of the US $ seems to be currently based on the US stock market. I'm not sure if the world sees the 4-12 (some not profitable) NASDAQ issues & 4 up moving on NYSE as enough of a "stock market" to support value of the US $. Then there are the coming problems with China....

Rare, The old quote says something about reigning in Hell better than serving... Allow me to rephrase into, "Better to reign in an honest Hell than serve in the current manipulated heaven". "... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." -- Thomas Jefferson, Nov. 13, 1787, letter to William S. Smith, see Jefferson On Democracy, 20 (S. Padover ed. 1939).
