Golly if that happened then Russia would have to play catch-up. Now we all know that an "everyone rushing all at once towards a small place to exchange US dollars for physical gold" will rock that apple cart and spill them beans and make a mess and cause that explosion to $2,500.00 ounce gold, so i guess it depends on them who have been already buying that cheap physical gold these past few years to pick up the buying rate and except an exasperation in the folks already buying, and any Chinese and Russian folks to hurry up and get while the gettings good and cheap. Makes me think that a lot more physical gold buying has happened in the quiet under the table these past few years so that the people's gold, especially the USA's, has been unloaded in great quanity to satisfy a great demand without having the price increase. Kind of makes a mockery of the ### ####### types that tell us that there has to be a much greater supply than demand. Ya sure, but not if corruption or great evil manipulation is present as the USA Powers that Have Been & Now Be have felt between that rock & hard place to keep the US dollar where it has been only if they accept Black-Mail in selling the nations physical gold at the cheap under the table so its price will not rise and cause the US dollar to appear weak. Guess them USA political folks will do anything to keep in power and get re-elected, and if it means that "Its the economy stupid." then they will cook the books like Anderson did with Enron, so that the USA will travel the same route Enron did while it was a great company, and now that the physical gold is almost gone after years of massive selling it in the quiet cheap, well the ### #######(s) might learn a lesson here in that if you do not challenge those in power and accept their talk while they never walk it, then game over you lose. Sure glad in a sad way that i have no children to leave into this mess. ak
