Neat saying Ken, but it has nothing to do with this reply. As you have pointed out many times <<... the miners continuing to overproduce>> and with the accepted reality that the Central Banks have tonnes of gold ready to be thrown at the market to stop any panic buying, I would like to say what everyone knows already as "sure, if...". If the Bon Beeces's NightMare before Shorts happens, then this is how his scary dream started. Once Upon a Future Day, the usa dollar loses it value and its role as store of value, and the euro's nickname of zero prevents its rise to the top, then physical gold will reclaim its place and once again "got gold" will be asked of all the nations so that their responsibility can be measured. Upon this day those huge amounts of physical gold that these Central Banks lent out will be recalled in, and Oops Big aTime it will be learned that its not no more in a safe "as was" but as jewerly on folks, as it was what was sold by the manipulators to keep the price low. So now the physical gold is seened once again something to "have & hold" PERIOD. So as these Central Banks that helped the manipulators by allowing their physical to leave, must now restock and buy that physical gold from whats available. But whats available is in the form or jewerly, an ounce for $250 was made into jewerly and sold for $2,500 to cover the "art" costs. So now what is the supply & demand equation parameter values??? Yup, no more "oversupply good for 50 years". Those Central Banks that have it, hold it, PERIOD. Want to recycle that jewerly gold since outta the ground is not ready and available. Yes, there is a way, that one ounce sold for $250 then as jewerly brough for $2,500 so itssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss easy as pie, melt the jewerly of $2,500 and sell for $25,000. price of gold , today x 100 d:o))))))))))g
