Try to get a copy of Jim Dines "The Invisible Crash". Probably out of print now, but it might be available @ your local library. The "book" is really a compilation of his daily/weekly newsletters during the '70's bear market. I think it cover the period from '72 to '76. It has been a couple of years since I read the book so my dates may be off a tad.<g> Anyway, fascinating reading & some amazing insights to the global political manipulation of Gold. ie: France, US, Britain etc... Regards, Peter

i'm only referencing that period because of the number of similarities it has with the current one and because it was the last major gold run before the 20 year bear... how all of this plays out this time will have its own unique schedule. and until it happens, well, none of it may apply at all <g>.. but its one way to explain things without relying purely on GATA theory and lease rates vs. motivations for why money should move into gold shares.. i.e. if bondholders lose their spot and stocks are still unloved, well there isn't much left.. and we can see that was true at least one time in a period that includes gold as the place of last resort. I wouldn't touch the stuff if we also did not have a unique financial crisis as well. We obviously do have one; it is a persistent one, universal in all asset classes, and it is world wide. Couple that with weak political leadership, rising disarray in once seemingly more harmoniously functioning political bodies etc etc etc... it's a pretty unique, possibly once in a lifetime, mess. Theoretically speaking that's where I'm at.
