<<is all that liquidity coming into the market to help the system to to provide safe haven to highly leveraged players>> No, if I understand correctly, it is a two edged sword which cuts both directions, it could "help" or "kill" anyone. I wondering why one of the truly long & independent gold & mining mutual funds doesn't start working the gold carry trade in the other - long direction? Money cost at the Fed's discount window is only 2.5% and new rules allow borrowing by mutual funds.
