what is this bs about gold being viewed as a leading indicator? is that true....
seems like they will spin anything to get a bullish slant...when gold goin down everyone said it was worthless and a sign of "new era"
it was a leading indicator in depressions...a very very early indicator that means that economy will turn in a few years or so :)

George, my comment was partly tongue-in-cheek...btw., i'm one of those who think that the traditional dollar/gold inverse relationship may be breaking down, at least for a while. but only in the sense that i think a relatively stable dollar may not be sufficient to contain a gold rally initially.

your arguments are of course 100% correct..note also, COMEX warehouse stocks of gold have plunged by 60% over the past few months.
