<<Arabs were selling cheap oil in exchange for manipulated cheap gold.>> Alan, You are very correct in your recollection of the oil and gold price dance that occured back then between those persons who were the powers that be of the USA and other nations. Remember not so long ago the person Taurus553 that left this Yellow Brick Road and went off to see The Wizard, and upon so, received the wisdom to go and search ends of rainbows for those tech bubbles ? Well, not there, but here, before he or she left the following observation by such person was left, as follows. "The thread [Gold Price Monitor] has a major flaw though. The subject matter is too often seen and addressed through the eyes and conviction of a relatively centered group of..... ... often lead to conflicts between addressing gold's role in the world, and the politics that may influence them." Now I'am sure Taurus553 will not agree with my group of myself's <<eyes and conviction>>, but to me gold is but about one single stand alone self contained war between Good and Evil, and this which you mentioned, the oil price and gold price and payments for such oil, was a major battle in the never ending war between that good and evil, and evil won this very important battle that still has a cold grip on the price of gold. That was a good year for Evil. Actually it was also a turning point, as that saying "Heaven and Hell" was modified and became "Heaven and Hell Inc." as the economics of the gold market some say is supply & demand but no and yes as no, in no free gold market but yes, in the supply of souls For Sale big supply, especially those high up and powerful in USA government and demand, well unlimited as Hell Inc. is much larger than prior Hell and now that the Devil is both CEO and Chairman and must report each year's bottom line the Devil now wheels and deals like you would not believe as now its caution to the wind. Till Gold can trade freely again. (1) Hell Inc. will exceed not only what the market expected but even the "whispered" numbers. (2) Taurus553 will not walk the Yellow Brick Road. (3) We need more friends like Friend of Another. Doug
